I agree somewhat. We used them because we thought that they would be almost universally supported. That turned out to be farther from the truth than expected. But consider the alternative: If we had started by suggesting a new cross-desktop spec for CSD, we would still be arguing about protocols for proxying button clicks back and forth today... > Ideally, GTK should be able to use CSD even without a compositor.

Yes, I've been thinking that myself recently: We should fall back to having 'fat borders' instead of 'invisible borders+shadow' if the environment can't support them. A patch to do so would be most welcome (I'm well aware that gtkwindow.c is not the easiest place to add new functionality like this...) _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
