---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0003864) egmont (reporter) - 2017-10-20 20:16 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1151#c3864 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Allow me please to share a few thoughts/questions regarding ws_xpixel/ws_ypixel. I'm glad these didn't make it to the standard for now; if you ever plan to add them then please get back here and consider these issues. - Most graphical terminal emulators have some padding (usually 1px) around the character cells. This is I believe both for aesthetical reasons as well better/easier handling of mouse dragging moving outside the area etc. Rxvt-unicode, pterm (putty) and st (suckless) set ws_[xy]pixel without this value, xterm add the padding too. Which one should be the right behavior and why? - xterm actually does not only add the padding, but also the scrollbar's width to ws_xpixel. Is this correct then? - How about other graphical elements? E.g. what if xterm had a tab bar (like gnome-terminal, konsole etc. have), should it add that too? What if it used CSD (client-side window decoration), would that also count? - If the answer was "yes" throughout the previous questions, how about tiling (a.k.a. paned) emulators such as Terminator and Tilix? - If it's only the cell's pixels (not even the padding) then what's the point in storing the entire window's dimensions and worrying about 16-bit overflow, rather than introducing new fields for a single cell's dimensions (as shorts)? - Continuing the previous question, kitty (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty) is the only terminal emulator I've seen so far that allows continuous resize, and splits the "extra" space among some of its character cells, resulting in certain cells being 1px taller or wider than others. Would this be the reason / use case for denoting the entire terminal emulator's dimensions? Wouldn't it cause problems that it's unknown how those extra pixels are distributed? - What about headless terminal emulators, such as the libvterm library (https://launchpad.net/libvterm), or screen or tmux in detached mode? - What about terminal emulators that can have multiple views, potentially at different pixel sizes?
