double-click on CSD headerbar doesn't respect gnome setting
Last modified: 2014-09-17 08:27:03 UTC
On double-click on the CSD headerbar, the window maximises/unmaximises. However, I have configured my window manager to toggle *vertical* maximisation on double click; gtk+ CSD should respect that setting. $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences action-double-click-titlebar 'toggle-maximize-vertically'
GDK currently doesn't have the concept of vertical maximization. Some of the other options will also be hard to reproduce, such as shade or menu. I'm not really convinced we want to make this tweakable. It might be more interesting to allow apps to customize the behaviour - vertical maximization is pretty terminal-specific, I'd say. Lets see what the designers think. For now, maybe we should implement the default middle-click behaviour, in addition to the default double-click behaviour.
In general it would be good for header bars to behave like regular titlebars, but there is obviously a resource question when it comes to implementing less frequently used titlebar features like this one. (I'll be the first to admit that I don't have a clear idea of how much work is involved here, though.) I'd also say that in general I'd expect header bars to behave in the same way; I'm not sure we want different apps having different header bar behaviour.
