[tiny new feature proposal] by default space between "close window" and "restore/maximize"

Hi everyone. This is a proposal for a tiny usability improvement, in my biased
opinion. A bit of space between "close window" (the X) and
"restore/maximize"
(the boxy thing) up right, on the window border. If you remember, kubuntu did
this once.
You can already do this your self, i'm just proposing to make it the default
config.
If the devs feel, enough people approve of it on the mailing list, they will
do it. So make sure to share your opinion.

It would be helpful for touch screens.

Provided we continue to be able to edit the layout, I would not oppose - I
anyway move that button to the left (I started using graphical intefaces long
before Windows moved the close button where it used to be maximize and -
probably as a deep anti-microsoft reflex and because I just hate to do as I
am told - I've *never* got used to the right size close button).
That's probably one of the reasons why I am running Linus and TDE :)

I doubt anybody has time to work on it, but you can just open a bug with the request and

Hi,
BTW what are you doing with your signing messages? I was looking some time
ago into knode and wanted to know why it shows signatures for some messages
and attachment of signatures for others (yours for example - was
openpgp/mime).
If you are posting here just to test it - I got you ;-) and I use the
opportunity to hijack for few answers.
I was wondering why knode is not using same as kmail (I think kleopatra).
And BTW somehow knode tells me your signature is bad ATM, so I sign to see
how it displays my signature.

It displays perfect.
BTW we should set pool.sks-keyservers.net as default keyserver in kgpg. I
found out recently that things have changed and somehow
pool.sks-keyservers.net consolidates keys from multiple sources. It also
serves hkp, while many of the other servers do not support hkp anymore.

I am signing using Enigmail on Thunderbird. What it does behind the scenes, not so sure
:-)
Anyhow in the past few days/weeks, I had a problem with the configuration that was
introduced with a recent update of
enigmail that screwed up my old config. Hopefully now it is ok.

Strange, I don't see any issue here. Any one else seeing a
bad signature from me?

This message is OK. As I mentioned before yours was OpenPGP/MIME now it is
embedded signature. I don't know if you intended to have it like this.

Hi,
I don't see any real benefit in adding that space, I find it uglier also.
Just my opinion. Have a great day!

+1
but they are talking about something else in general - it looks like if this
change goes in - the next versions will have a gap between the buttons by
default.

I had that space ages ago, but I did not like it, either. Anyway, if the space can be
disabled or if there's a theme/style/whatever to enable/disable the space, it's

Your summary is absolutely perfect! There seems to be no such amount of
enthusiastic reactions that would justify this change in the default
settings. I suppose a good place could be a tip on a wiki:

If we're voting on this (?) I'd vote not
to have the space by
default. It is an unnecessary change in a software suite that prides
itself on not pushing unnecessary changes, it is less elegant, and
those who need or prefer a space for any reason can enable it in
Appearance & Themes / Window Decorations / Buttons.
Your summary is absolutely perfect! There seems to be no such amount
of enthusiastic reactions that would justify this change in the
default settings. I suppose a good place could be a tip on a wiki:
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Tips_And_Tricks
Any volunteer who writes it?

The space can be added or removed from TDE
control panel. The functionality
is already there. The discussion is whether to add it by default or not.

I think it likely happened before KDE4:

Thanks Felix, I'm sure I've seen it before today, just didn't notices
the change until today and only because of this thread did I notice the
gap in my Wheezy install: https://i.paste.pics/36SHL.png
And then again in my Jessie install the gap is gone:
https://i.paste.pics/36SF2.png
But if it helps someone, in our current TDE install I found the
'keramik' window decoration has a gap between all the buttons.

I don't see any real benefit in adding that
space, I find it uglier also.
Just my opinion. Have a great day!

I had that space ages ago, but I did not like it, either. Anyway, if the
space can be disabled or if there's a theme/style/whatever to
enable/disable the space, it's ok.

Or, Heaven help us, even LXQt, which I've been using on the gadget (I need
to use something that plays nice with KWin, which has been hacked to be
the preferred WM for it). You cannot easily edit, for instance, even the
menus. What ought to be a nice little KDE-lite is often maddening. There's
almost always a way to do what you want to do in TDE, and when you can't
find it somebody here will have the answer.

Is there anyone else who has tried this? On Tuesday 22 May 2018 23:11:51 deloptes wrote:
In truth - I'm now testing it on myself. I leave aside that it looks
strange in design - originally the icons were nicely compact, now there
is a "hole". Note that I use minimalist window titles - style B II. For
now, every time I go to the icons, I'm surprised - the change, though
small, disturbs me. We'll see how it will be after a few days. At the
same time, I must admit that sometimes I accidentally closed the window
instead of maximizing, so the small gap seems to be a good idea.
I leave the time for testing and we'll see what the decision will be.
We look forward to the opinions of other users.

I doubt anybody has time to work on it, but you can just open a bug
with the request and it will be handled.

Users can already do this. This simply changes the default config.
i already did. They are worried users will start complaining.

There is more to touch screen than just a theme - virtual keyboard at least?

Depends on how much "automatic" you want/require. I prefer "not

an automatic that fails.
I've set up a nice "Tablet/notebook" (Toshiba Z20T) with Debian and TDE.
I use "Smooth Blend" as windows decoration with a 46 pixels button size. The
icons are not the prettiest (I'd prefer "laptop" but they don't scale)
but it
works.
I use "onboard" as virtual keyboard with a button in the panel to start it
when needed. Onboard does not appear automagically but then it does not
either clutter my screen when it wrongly "thinks" I need it as I've
experiences with other virtual keyboards.
Linux does not seem to have palm rejection, so I wrote a small tcl/tk app that
let's me stop touch when I write (note that this requires an *active* pen,
which anyway is the only thing that really lets you write correctly).
Desktop icons are at 48, toolbar icons at 22.
With these settings I use TDE on a touchscreen, and the Z20t let's you
separate the screen from the keyboard and use it as a tablet ( *AND* the
keyboard has my favorite track point :))
So, while there is certainly room for improvement, I'd say that TDE *is*
usable with a touchscreen if you are ready for some compromises.

Thierry
