 |
|
Hello,
My system updated to x11-themes/arc-theme-20221218 (all previous versions were dropped yesterday)
And now all my window have a really nasty and thick border around (around 4px size I think)
Also, no more option to generate the assets with inkscape with the new ebuild (maybe upstream decision), I'm not sure if it is related or not.
Previous version (20210412) doesn't have this issue. (1px windows border)
Also, out of curiosity, I tried other themes (gtk3) like Adwaita, Clearlooks-Phoenix and they all have that thick border so maybe it comes from something else.
That said, if I reinstall previous version (20210412) from my localrepo, then the thin border are back.
Is there a way to force gtk3 (?) to use thin as possible border for windows ?
Thanks
PS : I'm using xfce
x11-themes/arc-theme-20221218 (gtk2 gtk3 gtk4 transparency xfce -cinnamon -gnome-shell -mate)
edit : Made a screenshot so you can see the difference (see the right side of xfce4-terminal window) |

Probable cause: https://github.com/eco32i/arc-theme/commit/b540d9273c72a01d958b045274b1da6afc4a94b3
| Code: | xfwm4: Increase resize border width
The resize area for windows in xfwm4 only consists of the actual,
border area, and not any area outside the decorations like with many
other window managers [1]. Due to this, thin decoration borders
cause windows resizing to be difficult.
Increase border width on Arc decorations from 2px to 4px, which
should considerably improve the situation, while still keeping
the borders thin enough to fit the Arc design.
This also fixes the appearance of the outer border of dark window
decorations, where the titlebar has 1px dark border, when it is 2px
wide around rest of the window.

This explains also why I don't see the issue with openbox, only xfce is affected.
Well, I understand the reasoning but so far I've never had any trouble with resizing.
Anyway, this commit introduces a new setting for common/xfwm4/dark/themerc
and pre-rendered assets with a bigger border. (4px)
I wonder if I can modify the current ebuild to bring back inkscape + a patch with this commit reverted.
I'll update this thread later. |
