Chromium + kde, "Use System Title Bar and Borders" issue

Using chromium 19.0.1084.56, I have an issue with kde. My current window has no system border. But if I open a new window, the system border appears for that new window. I have to toggle on and off again "Use System Title Bar and Borders" for it to go away.
Am I the only one?

1. Your current window has no titlebar.
2. You switch titlebars on, but they don't appear until you open a new window.
3. You then "have to toggle [the option] on and of again" to make "'it' go away."
So, do you want the titlebar or not? It isn't clear what you want, since you seem to be complaining about both having and not having titlebars. If you want them on, then do they stay on from one session to the next? If you don't want them on, why turn them on? If you do want them on, why toggle them back off?
I don't want the system titlebar.
the window on the bottom is my current one, the one on the top is when I open a new window.

How to merge title bar and tab bar on Gnome desktop?

Not exactly a Firefox issue, but if it works fine on Windows it should work on Gnome too...
How can I merge title bar and tabs bar?
In Windows if we hide the menu bar Firefox puts in a single line Firefox button, tabs and minimize, maximize and close buttons. But in Gnome it keeps the separated title bar (with the minimize, maximize and close buttons).
Is there any way to really implement it on Gnome Desktop?

I want to back up what was said here. Chrome and Chromium have done this for as long as I can remember and the Linux distribution is entirely irrelevant in this case (as in most cases). There is an option to use the "system title bar and borders" in Chrome. If applied Chrome will have that blocky, chunky effect of not having the tabs overlapping into the title bar that firefox has. By default chrome does not use the system-provided title bar and borders. They wrote their own. The result is it looks nice. I prefer firefox by miles over Chrome, but have to admit it is chunky and ugly around the edges by comparison.
The problem is not that it is "not possible in Linux." As a dedicated Linux user, hearing that oft-repeated phrase gets really old. There is nothing about Linux that makes things not possible when it comes to coding features. What is going on is the shortcuts available to make the coding quick and easy may not already exist. Fewer people use Linux, fewer people develop for Linux, and there is often less existing code base already written for Linux to make a coding job quick and easy. Also, there is less incentive to write original code to make something work for Linux because we are relatively few; the countless minions using Windows are all complaining about other things and much more loudly so.
There is no doubt the task could be accomplished--which I would love to see--but the developers have to prioritize. I get that. Just wish they'd be honest rather than use the lazy answer of "It can't be done on your system."

[KDE][Suggestion] Kwin title bar&menu bar/tab bar merge

Hi.
I do not know if topic has been up for discussion, but I wonder if more people shares my view on this.
Kwin has seen a lot of development since KDE4 was initially released, with the latest support of behaving tiling. However there is a function I would love to see implemented in Kwin, and any other WM for that matter, and that is merging the title bar and menu bar.
When I do not move windows around with hotkeys I do so with alt + left click. Which basicly means that the title bar is next to obsolete, as it per now contains (in my case) three small buttons, one icon and a few words. Handy when you need it, but to be fair, rarely used. Chrome solved this problem by placing tabs upon the title bar, along with the max/min/close buttons. That way you preserve the border as well as making it useful, for let's face it, most KDE applications has tabs. In fact, more and more applicaitons all over the board get tab support, so there definetly could be a market here.
Another option is to put the space to use by placing the menu bar there. Take a look at Konsole, for instance, which has TWO bars, and in total uses less than 50% of the space of one.
What do you think?

You can sort of get this feature if you use "Automatically group similar windows" in the "Window behavior" menu. When you open a new windows its is placed as a tab in the title bar.
As I understand it, works is going on to give this feature a dbus interface so it can integrate better with the applications intern tabs.

Window resized to show only title bar and pushed off screen viewing area

Anyone else experiencing this strange phenomenon?
I open some PDF documents, then leave the computer for a few hours. When I come back, they have all been resized to only show the title bar AND they have been pushed off the bottom left corner of my screen, so that only a tiny portion of the title bar can be seen. I then drag them all back up into view, and resize them so I can read them again. Give it another couple hours of not being actively used, and they disappear back down to the corner.
Very strange Abobe... what's happening?

Some details would help: operating system, Reader version, a screenshot perhaps: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

How to replace the icon in the title bar and minimized window

I am not sure if this is a Swing question. But since nobody answered it in the Java Programming forum, let me place it here:
I would like to set my own icon in the title bar and in the minimized window of my java application, replacing the java coffee cup icon.
I am using:
frame.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.gif").getImage())
as was suggested previously in the Java Programming forum at:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=5212059
This does create the icon in both places. However, it only works when I run the program from JBuilder 2006. It doesn't work if I run the program from the .jar or the .exe file.
How can I make it work for my .jar and .exe file?
Please help! Thanks!

It doesn't work if I run the program from the .jar...working example for a .jar
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public void buildGUI()
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    Image img;

Can't drag windows around using the title bar-CS4

I just upgraded to CS4 at work last week and I'm already regretting it. Firstly, using two monitors, CS4 must like my graphics card becasue as soon as I open a document and it begins to render the window, the main monitor loses it's signal and cuts off. So I have to hard shut down and make my 2nd monitor the main one, open CS4 and a file on that monitor, then make it the 2nd monitor and pass it over to my real first monitor with a file open and make that monitor the main one again. Added to that, randomly, files will open as tabs even though I have the option unchecked in prefs. I hate tabs, I want my windows floating. But I digress.
My current issue is the file windows are not movable using the title bar. I can expand/contract every side grabbing the edge, but clicking, holding and dragging any of the title bar is ineffective. I can drag to tab to undock it, but once floating, the title bar is non-funtional for grabbing. I can also double click on it to tab, just not to drag.
I use a mac at home and thankfully Adobe hasn't forced the edge to edge palette background on that platform. On the mac we get a 'classic view' or something that does away with the desktop blocking grey window background. Seriously, I can't stand the full screen look. Why can't windows have that option to have just the menu bar, palettes and file windows allowing the desktop to be visible? /rant

A new video card is often a good idea if yours is over 2 years old. Even the modern "budget" (e.g., ~$100) cards are hugely powerful nowadays.
This page, I believe, could be a good starting point for everything you want to know:

Off-screen title bar and menu

I have a dual monitor setup, where the monitors have different resolution. I usually open documents on the larger screen, but if I open a second document it opens on the smaller screen with title bar and main menu off-screen. Is it any way I can anchor new windows to the top of the screen instead of the bottom?

Unfortunately, as with Expose, the Prefs window disappears when I activate Spaces.
I don't quite understand what you mean. do you mean that the system preferences window moves off screen when you enable spaces? when you enter spaces view (F8 is the default shortcut) you should see all windows in all spaces on all monitors. is this not working?
It isn't displayed, i.e. it disappears. Remember this is a MS app and appears to follow the semantics of modal dialogues in Windows, i.e. they aren't "real" windows. They are a PITA in Windows as it's possible to hide them with another window and they are a pain to find - they don't appear in window lists and you can't Alt-TAB to them.
oh, yes, I forgot about that. I know that MS office Spaces integration was supposed to be fixed in Snow Leopard but I guess that didn't happen with MSN messenger. that's probably also the reason those apple scripts you tried didn't work.
Looking at this from a different angle, where are window positions likely to be saved as the position is retained across reboots. Is it the OS that handles this, or the app itself?
the window positions of an application are stored in the preference file of that application in /users/username/library/preferences. if you quit an application, delete its preference file and relaunch it then it should display on the default screen with default values. however, some apps (like Mail) keep important data in their preference files and deleting them will wipe that data.
Thanks. As you said about Mail, MSN Messenger stores all its data in their, e.g. account details, and the plist file is binary, but a quick Google revealed plutil so I converted it to XML, edited it in vi, and converted back to binary +et voilà+ it worked!!
The window position was 0, -56 so I just changed it to 0, 56
that will of course, do it.
Thanks for your help!
you are welcome.

Keep getting "invalid url" when searching title bar and built in google search.

When I use the title bar, or the home page to search using google, i get "invalid url". If I manually type in www.yahoo.com, or any other site, everything works fine. Usually if I restart the computer, everything is normal again. This does no happen all the time, but once it starts, it wont go away. I even restarted in safe mode and then disabled all add ons and still nothing.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Different icon for Frame's title bar and alt tab

I have been using Frame.setIconImage to supply the image icon for the title bar and (on Windows, the <alt><tab> image). The trouble is there is only one image for both but one is usually small 16x16 and the other is usually large 32x32. What I have been doing is creating an image that is 32x32 but scales back to 16x16 and still looks good.
The trouble is it is tricky to create graphics like that. I wondered is there a way to specify one image for the title bar and another image for the <alt><tab> image?
thanks,
Ian

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Is there
a solution? Or can anyone say definitivly that
specifying the title bar icon and the <alt><tab> icon
separately is not possible?Sorry- you can't do it. Windows apps can do this easily because they use a .ico that can contain both the 16x16 and 32x32.
There are a couple of hacks I tried once, trying to swap icons based on events, but they are horrible hacks and don't work well enough to use. Your choices are as follows:
1. Use a 16x16 .gif as your icon and have it look good in the upper left hand corner of your frame but horrible during alt-tab,
or
2. Use a 32x32 .gif and have it look poorly in the upper left hand corner of your frame but good during most other times.
I'd choose #1.
(The reason behind all of this is Java does a much worse job of resizing your icon than you could do yourself with a little work in Paint Shop Pro.)

Image window maximize over title bar and tools

Hi,
im working on a PC , with windows 7, with photoshop CS5
i searched everywhere for answer , but none was given..
people did mention this problem, but for different photoshop versions , and, i had it good till i dont know what happened and changed it, so i believe it is fixable but people understood it wrong.
anyhow, the problem is, when you try to maximize the image window (assuming you changed it from tabs), the window maximize all over the screen, over the tools and title bar.
instead of staying inside the workspace.
as i mentioned, it used to be like it , but something happened and now its all over the thing.
i tried double click the hand tool, all sort of things with the "F" and Tab shortcuts, the arrange documents thing on the top, even trying to restore default setting but nothing really did the trick.
i tried to look for something called "Application frame", that somehow suppose to do just that, under window->Application frame, but its not there.
again, it used to be ok so i know there is still hope..
here it is restored, under "fit screen" option, notice it only get the hight right, i would not call it "fit screen" but what ever..
red circels show the title bar and tools.. very nice and cool.
and this is when i hit the maximize button and unleash hell, red circles are where the title bar and tools were, not so nice and cool..
i noticed none of the others gave pictures, so i gave it a go..
please help, there are no words to describe how annoying it is.
thank very much in advance.

If you want the Photoshop main window components to remain visible, either right-click on the image with the Zoom Tool selected and choose "Fit on Screen" (which really fits it inside the Photoshop workspace), or use Tabbed View.
Pressing Control-0 (control zero) is a shortcut for Fit to Screen.
I have no idea why Adobe changed the behavior. Perhaps people reported that it was annoying to have the maximize window button not actually maximize the document window to fill the screen, which is really what it's supposed to do.

Do you have Kaspersky software installed? If so, update to the latest version.

Before updating to Firefox 4, I want to be sure I will still be able to use Norton Tool bar and Norton Identity Safe. Can anyone advise?

I have not yet updated and will not until I am sure I can Use Norton Tool bar and Identity Safe.

Why my ipad close programes to title bar and i open its again?

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Print JFrame without title bar and border

I am trying to print out a JFrame which contains two JPanels. The following code is part of my implementation of Printable which prints the entire JFrame including the title bar and border. I've considered implementing Printable in the JPanel classes but then I don't know how I would get everything on one page as a single image. Is there some way to just print the contentPane of the JFrame?
     public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pi)
          throws PrinterException {
          if (pi >= 1) {
               return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
          double scaleX = pf.getImageableWidth()/getWidth();
          double scaleY = pf.getImageableHeight()/getHeight();
          double scale = 1;
          g2.translate((int) pf.getImageableX(), (int) pf.getImageableY());
          if (scaleX < 1 || scaleY < 1) {
               scale = scaleX < scaleY ? scaleX : scaleY;
               g2.scale(scale,scale);
          printAll(g2);
          return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
     }

Thanks.
I can get the Jframe without the title bar and I can get it to drag on the desktop with your suggestions. I still need it to have rounded edges.
