Thanks Martin, that helps my understanding. :-)

The vm installations I've encountered, including my current one [1], don't
have compositing enabled. One less thing to worry about. :-)

Ahh that must be it. Sounds like we need a window edge definition
solution for when compositing is not enabled, since right now
overlapping windows blend into each other. If folks have ideas please
share. I'll chat with other VDG folks as well.

 The only thing that I wonder is that the borders are hardly rounded now.
 They
 used to be rounder.


Hmm, the corner radii seem to match the original reference design, at least
in the compositing-disabled visuals I'm seeing. Send me a screenshot when
you get a chance.

If anyone else sees something that might be worth tweaking before the
artwork freeze, holler. :-)

Thanks much Kai!

Breeze Window Decoration status

2015-01-03 Thread Andrew Lake
I'm super excited that we have the C++ Breeze windec now available! I
running kubuntu-ci live in a vm and I wasn't sure if what I'm seeing
reflects the most current state of the windec. The two main things I
noticed are:
- No window shadows.
- The titlebar doesn't have the (subtle) gradient of the reference design.
- The button symbols are implemented _really_ nicely.

The first one is probably the most important to help define the window
boundary. Sorry if I'm bringing up stuff folks are already aware of and are
working on. If there's anything we can provide from the VDG side to help,
let us know.

Thanks again!
Andrew

After chatting with VDG folks here is a proposal for the edge of the
non-composite windows:
