Window decoration

Can you make the buttons so when I
move suddenly the mouse to the right
upper corner I can close the window
whithout target the button precisely?

Like winXP, I just move the mouse to
the upper right corner and the close
button will be focused.

Thanks! Its time to make this the
default one in KDE!!!

90% approve is astonishing!!!

Great idea. What I will try to do is to move the buttons closer to the left and right corners for maximized windows. this should hopefully do the trick. ;)

Hey, Sandro! How are you doing?

Still on it? Can I help you
with that issue of the close button
positioning?

Thanks!

hi,

Well, I'm confused. :)

With Alloy 0.4.1 (and the option "shrink borders for maximized windows" checked) the feature you requested works for me, doesn't it?
Now if you maximize a window, the side borders of the deco hide and the buttons can be accessed like in Win XP. Or did I get you wrong?

regards, Sandro

Ok, you got it!!! It is what I was
talking about.

I liked the 1 pixel configuration. For
me, it is the best configuration.

Now, Im confused with one thing.
When I use the 5 pixels configuration,
isntead of the border stretch, it shrink.
So, when I put more pixels, it does the
oposite, doesnt?
Or Im getting this wrong?

hey,

I hope, I understood you correctly!
The "shrink borders for maximized windows" and the "border size" settings are two different things. While the first one just optionally does the "WinXP behaviour" for maximized windows, thus making buttons etc. more easily accessible (independent of the pixel settings), with the border size setting it is possible to change the borders' thickness for non-maximized (or with the shrinking option disabled for all) window states.

I noticed what that configuration (border
sizes) does. But I think it wouldnt work
that way when the window is maximized,
because it is 'eating' the rightmost part of
the window.
It is possible implement it in a way it doesnt
hide the right side of the window when it is
maximized?
Did you understand me? (try to maximize a window and change the border size).

Thanks for your attention!

Thanks, Sandro!
Where are you from (your names,
dbrowlees - Daniel and ceebx - Sandro)
are commom Brazilian names.

Ok, with that done, I think we can
improve it more now!!!

What do you think, for accessibility
purpose, include a configuration to
change the height of the window bar,
like the KDE2 default style.
(please check)

But we can go further. In KDE2 default
style, the buttons doesnt get
redimensioned with the window (it has
_very_ bad visual because this).
You think that is possible to adjust the
buttons height with the window bar?
This way, we can get your original
decoration incorporating all the good
things of the default XP style.
(we can use all the studies that MS
have done for our benefit).

What you think? (if you wanna help, I
can try to help you with my work)

THANKS!!!

I'm from germany, near munich, not sure where Daniel is from! ;-)
I like your ideas about the titlebar height but for now I won't get them done... at the moment, the whole thing is sort of optimized for fixed sizes and it would be a real pain to do that. ;-) Perhaps I will clean this up next days/weeks but I can't give any guarantee...

BTW: I will upload a new native win deco on kde-look soon you might be interested in. :-)

yes, it should be the default style. Very professional look. But it is based on the alloy Java Look&Feel from Incors. Is that licenced under GPL??

Yes, you got the point.
This is THE thing I really

hi,

At the moment I'm trying to make the deco look similar to the original alloy Java Look&Feel from Incors which doesn't have round borders.

But if more people request this feature I will do this "sometime" (perhaps optional)...

Here goes my thumb up to the idea,
since you keep the button accessible
from the rightmost upmost corner.
