[Solved]Chromium + xcompmgr

sHyLoCk · 2010-02-06 14:53:24

Does anyone else have this issue with chromium if xcompmgr is being used?
When I maximize chromium in *box , a part of the right side [alongwith the close button] vertically disappears!
When I restore it, everything is normal.

It is a know issue with chromium: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue … l?id=26598

So I guess either chromium is out or xcompmgr is out. Maybe it's time to fallback on firefox as transparency is a necessity!

I use chromium and xcompmgr, and I know what you are talking about:P
just right click with mouse right to the '+' (add tab) butthon and choose "Use System Title Bar and Borders"
it works great this way;)

Thanks. This worked for me, although Chromium doesn't look as good.

Yup it works, thanks.

Nice tip

It was pretty annoying to maximize chromium..

tawan · 2010-04-10 00:27:29

That tip works well but if you want to keep the Chromium look then you have to do a few clicks each time it happens.

With the Chromium borders, my routine is > Open Chromium > Make a new tab > close it > all ok.

tawan · 2010-04-10 00:38:35

As it is the Chromium borders causing the problem we could say that this is a Chromium bug and not an xcompmgr one... But waiting for Google to address a bug that exists for Openbox/Xcompmgr users may give us all long beards.

sand_man · 2010-04-10 01:48:21

xcompmgr is buggy anyway and doesn't seem to be active anymore. Still waiting for cairo-compmgr to get up to speed.

fcuk112 · 2010-04-10 07:21:09

how are xcompmgr and cairo-compmgr different?
is cairo-compmgr recommended to use? is it stable?

thanks.

I have a complete fix for this now

1) Right click in the top of chromium and tell it to use the system titlebar

2) then in rc.xml add this to the applications section near the bottom

    <application name="chromium">
      <decor>no</decor>
    </application>

3) remember to refresh openbox so it follows this setting.

4) when you start chromium now it will have no close buttons but you can still close it may other ways - the xcompmgr glitch is now gone

Nice tip, tawan, thanks!

Hi, I've added this tip to rc.xml file but it doesn't fix the issue :\

Nichollan · 2010-08-28 15:54:16

I experienced this issue while trying out Openbox. It doesn't appear to be an issue in XMonad.

This workaround must work if you enabled the system titlebar and removed it with the "decor" option. Also, you need to restart X to use the changes.

Heh, I like it, cause there is even more space left for browsing (less space used by "fancy" Chromium titlebar") that way. What in particular you don't like about it?

toketin · 2010-08-29 10:07:10

I don't know which are the keys to maximixe and minimize the window, without having the titlebar

anonymous_user · 2010-08-29 14:18:48

Make new keybinds? Example:

<keybind key="W-m">
      <action name="ToggleMaximizeFull"/>
    </keybind>

archman-cro · 2010-08-29 15:06:20

Yes, and <action name="Iconify"/> to minimize.
