auto-move titlebar feature lost

Mon Feb 01, 2010 10:27 am
Hi Experts and beta coordinators.

I'm trying to stay up to date with the current KDE 4 versions.

When I installed a new update some time ago I seem to have lost the "auto-move titlebar" feature of the B-II Windows decoration. It still is enabled, but the - still short - title bars don't move any more.

Any help ?

Moved to the KWin forum.

Can you please explain what the auto-moving titlebar is?

"Auto-move" only works when compositing is disabled for technical reasons. The decoration will need to be rewritten to be compositing-aware for it to work when compositing is enabled.

auto-moving title is the nice feature about BII: If multiple windows sit on top of each other, the (BII=short) title bars are displayed in a row forming a single tabbed "multi-window". Of course for this the title bars need fo "auto-move" into position when the windows are placed on top of each other.

I did see the "compositing" setting in fact is enabled.

What does compositing mean ?

In fact I wanted to report that it this seems not be be working as planned, just in case the problem is not yet known.

Thanks,
