From renedrive at tiscali.it Sat Oct 3 18:00:40 2015 From: renedrive at tiscali.it (renedrive) Date: Sun, 04 Oct 2015 00:00:40 +0200 Subject: [openbox] Fast moving windows without redesign Message-ID: <1443909640.2226.26.camel@tiscali.it> Hello to all. I'm new to the list, and also to OpenBox. Let me know if you can configure in OpenBox moving windows without being redesigned while dragging? I installed Sparky Linux with OpenBox on a very old computer that has a "Matrox MGA G200 AGP" graphics card. The MGA driver is loaded, I lowered the color depth in xorg with the value 16. Despite this, the movement of windows while dragging is slow, very, very slow. That is why I was wondering if it could be possible to configure OpenBox so that when dragging windows did see only the edge and not the inside, redrawing the window only at the end of the drag? This is a possible configuration? Thank you all By Renato from Italy NB: Sorry for my bad English -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have tried it again today to be sure. The function does exactly what it says Does not redraw the windows while resizing. As you drag the entire window does not work, however, he continues to make the redesign continuously while moving. It is precisely for this function, after having tried it, I have decided to write to the list. It seems strange that the redesign of the windows can be disabled in resizing but not while dragging. It seems almost an option left in half, incomplete. I used several configuration panels but ObConf seems the right place for this purpose. Since the option is not present I imagine, if any, should be configured manually in some configuration files. ???

Implementing this requires either using a compositing manager (prob not what you want) or freezing the whole x server during window moves. Have you tried using keyboard shortcuts with the http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#MoveToEdge action or similar? These move the window in larger steps. Also the interactive http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#Move can move windows faster/slower with shift/control held when you press arrows.

I try the two options The first, the one with the W key, to me does not work, do not understand why. The second one works A little uncomfortable because in two phases, first you have to start the movement by holding down the ALT key and then you can use the arrow keys. The movement is still slow, only that being a small step seems slightly faster. The steps of movement are small, and then to perform a large movement, however, it takes a long time.

Interesting. How can I find out who's hijacking the root window mouse events? I don't know any easy way. I ended up running openbox with debug on (might have been --debug-focus?), then ran gdb on the misbehaving program. Also there is no guarantee you've got the same problem I had.

This would have been a possibility if root window events never worked. But they work fine, for days, weeks, and then suddenly they do not work anymore. Mouse clicks in windows, title bars and hot keys still work. After some fiddling with programs and panel apps they sometimes work again. Otherwise a logout/login is required.

If you upgrade to 3.6.1, you can use the ForEach action (see the website for documentation, it works like the If action but takes all open windows into account, and runs the listed actions on each matched window). -- Mikael Magnusson From turkuting at gmail.com Tue Oct 27 14:48:12 2015 From: turkuting at gmail.com (TT) Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:48:12 +0200 Subject: [openbox] Disappearing menus In-Reply-To: <20151027104810.7b905bf8@phoenix.squirrel.nl> References: <20151026083842.7f9840f2@phoenix.squirrel.nl> <562F2567.9030306@gmail.com> <20151027104810.7b905bf8@phoenix.squirrel.nl> Message-ID: <562FC6EC.3020600@gmail.com> On 10/27/2015 11:48 AM, Johan Vromans wrote: > On Tue, 27 Oct 2015 09:19:03 +0200 > TT wrote: > >> are you sure you have configured the mouse events to work on the root >> window, aka desktop background? >> or some other part of openbox, e.g. window titles? >> are you using a desktop manager? if you say mate, you probably are. >> openbox root window events won't work then! > This would have been a possibility if root window events never worked.

Both files (obrc.xml and obmenu.xml) reside on the local disk, so that cannot be an issue.

Good suggestion, but unfortunately not feasible. Currently all systems are behaving normally, and as soon as it happens again I'll investigate further, e.g. by killing processes one by one.
