GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 441940
black border when minimizing gnome windows
Last modified: 2020-11-07 12:36:33 UTC
Please describe the problem: When windows are minimized on GNOME a black border (ghost) is showed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open any program 2. Minimize this program Actual results: The black border is showed! Expected results: When i minimize a border i wan`t no black border, this increase performance and make gnome most wonderfull! Does this happen every time? Yes all versions of GNOME make it (i have tried 2.14 up to 2.18) Other information: I have discovered a solution for this: in the source code /src/effects.c we can modify the function g_return_if_fail (seconds_duration > 0.0); to g_return_if_fail (0); with this we disable the "black border". Probably this is not a better solution but this works ;)
Does the black border go away again after a few seconds?
No. But when i disable this i can see a several performance improve. What i`m saying is: Why we can not create a option to full disable GNOME effects? What the "black border" exist?
I`m writing a new effecs.c and effects.h to show. I think this will improve performance and a beautiful look. Regards, Grabber.
Moving to general because this sounds like a description of the wireframe minimisation effect. Moving to enhancement because you request a change to a working system. Let us know how the new effects.[ch] go.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you still use metacity and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
