The application not being forced to handle the title bar and its buttons, but getting the default one for free. I wonder when the GNOME/mutter people will discover such a novel concept (regarding Wayland).
- yxhuvud 3y agoThey are very intentionally choosing to put that responsibility in the client. It is very irritating and their choice (as opposed to other compositors that support the decoration protocols) is one of the bigger sources of Wayland fragmentation.
- phatskat 3y agoHonestly I haven’t touched Linux in a desktop sense in years, and the drama around Wayland/window trim makes me miss it lol
- pcwalton 3y agoWindows works just like GNOME here: decorations are client side and are drawn in user32. dll.
- okanat 3y agoUm not really.If the application gets stuck, Windows Desktop Window Manager slaps its own titlebar on top of the window, ignoring all client decoration. You can still move it or close it. On GNOME, if the application gets stuck you have to kill it by other means.
