I can only agree with your analize, Dominik, you are doing a nice work.
But you asked for more ideas, so here is a try. This is something similar
to what Tim once suggested, it may work well if there is a big penalty for
additional windows.
Titlebar is not discussed here, only borders.
The division to windows may be like this:
o...+------++-----
:l-t| top || handle
+---+------++-----
| l |corner::
| e |window::
| f | ::
+-t-+......o:
+---+.......o
| h |
| a |
| n |
| d |
l
e
Top and right handles are fully drawn using pixmap tiles.
Left-top tiny corner piece may be drawn using a pixmap, it is constant.
Corner window starts from the very left-top and includes both bevels
(inner 2 pixels and outer 2 pixels) on both ends.
Now the only problem is a wrong cursor in the central bevels.
This may be solved by adding one invisible corner2 window that is a bit
smaller than corner1 window and defines a different cursor.
In this solution there are only 4 additional windows, not 8.
Also I am not sure left-top corner piece is needed, it's drawing pixmap
probably may be included into corner1 window without flickering. If this
is possible, there are no additional windows at all.
So to sum it up, corner2 is invisible, corner1 has 3 unbound parts.
And while you are at it. Please add boolean NoBorder/Border style option
that is similar to NoHandle/Handle. I want to add this for some time now,
this enables to temporarily remove borders without reseting BorderWidth.
This also raises a question of disabling only parts of a border, for
example only side borders suggested by Olivier in another thread.
Regards,
Mikhael.
