[SOLVED] evince: unable to resize window

quellen · 2024-04-23 20:45:39

hi, I can no longer resize the evince window: if I go with the mouse to the corner of the window the icon to resize it doesn't appear. if instead I press the right mouse button and then select "Resize" it works. how do you explain it? it worked once
I don't use any DE, only openbox as a windows manager and X.

the terminal output gives no message

if instead of openbox I use metacity as windows manager, this issue does not occur. so it's an openbox problem... how can i solve it?

The window probably ensa up being undecorated by openbox for CSD?
But then the client does't provide the proper CSD or it doesn't work because of gtk event handling being "broken"?

xwininfo # click the window
xprop #dto

And try to "export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1" to the session.

I added "export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1" but it doesn't solve the problem.
however, then I discovered that it was my theme's fault, by setting another theme I can resize evince. Maybe there is something wrong with the gtk3 style.
my theme:

Can anyone fix it?

_MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0

This will strip the decoration and leave you w/ the CSD, ie. evince is responsible for triggering the resize, not your WM.
Afair openbox has a setting to ignore that and put a frame around the window nevertheless - and I guess you're aware of alt+rmb?
Or in this case, the particular theme.

Is that your personal, custom theme or is there an upstream to that?

thanks, I didn't know "alt+mouse right button", it works!
It's a customizing theme that I created by copying from other themes and changing the colors.

Do the themes you used as base work?

I no longer remember what themes they were...
however I have now found one called Goldy-Dark-GTK that seems to work. I copied the gtk-3.0 and assets folders into my theme and I think I solved it.
