window titlebar

[Maximilian W. Zeller]

hi

1. i was wondering if it is possible to remove the window titlebar of
a specific floating window? maybe with defwinprop?

2. or maybe is it possible to make the titlebar of a floating window
fit its width?

any ideas?

It can only be removed dynamically; _:set_mode('floating-alt')...
maybe... I don't remember if the titlebar is disabled for
the floating-alt style, and am not running X ATM; they've
managed to make Cygwin X crash constantly.

There's a patch that alters the way the width is calculated at
http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/patches.html . Not sure if it's
what you want.

That's what you get for not using a proper operating system! :)

Yes, on a proper operating system (instead of a half of one
running on another proper one), I'd be stuck to the 80x25
VGA console.

Random Cygwin brokenness (1.7 betas) is just the familiar
situation from Linux, where you're also stuck to using
unstable/experimental distributions, because the stable
megadistros provide too old non-core software and do not
run the newest third-party software without massive library
recompilation efforts. At least on Windows there's a stable
proper _core_ operating system underneath, running all the
latest software.

I acheive #2 by adding:
bar = "inside"

to the frame-floating style in my look.lua file.

My specific setup:

de.defstyle("frame-floating", {
based_on = "frame",
bar = "inside",
padding_pixels = 0,
highlight_pixels = 1,
shadow_pixels = 1,
spacing = 0,
})

defbindings("WMPlex.toplevel", {
kpress(META.."Escape", "toggle_tab(_)"),
})

and I can show/hide the titlebar with meta+escape.

thank you all ... these things helped a lot

i have another question though: Is there a possibility to set absolute
position for floating windows through defwinprop?

thanks in advance

i dont't quite get how to give absolute x/y position?!

i am looking for something like
position = { x = 100, y = 100 }

what i read in the documentation is how to manipulate size but
couldn't find anything to manipulate the position.

There isn't one in Ion3. I did add a winprop to ion3plus,
but all the documentation is the changelog entry.
(See also WGroup.attach docs.)

* * Added attach_params winprop and auto_placement option.
The first, attach_params, is a table containing the same parameters that can
be passed to WGroup.attach. It is applied when a new frame would normally be
created for the window, as attach parameters of the frame. The parameters are
thus not applied when attaching a new window to an existing (tiled) frame, or
for attaching the window within the newly created frame.

The second, auto_placement, is a boolean option in the attach parameters,
and can be used to control whether application-supplied position is used,
or whether Ion should itself calculate a position for the window.

Sorry, I miss-read the userpos part in the docs.

You can always do something like this with hooks (clientwin_do_manage_alt)
but it's not as clean.

(After reading tuomov's mail, I guess you should try ion3plus)
