Summary | 0000392: Consider "Single" window option instead of 4 | ||||
Description | LFOM in the forum (03/22/2020) suggested going to a Single window option instead of the 4 separate windows. This may be possible by "rooting" the window per GG. It is something that can be looked into but of low priority. I do not think it would include the "tear off" option that might be expected though (because not written in QT?) The request for this is based on having a small screen with the end result of the title lines on each of the 4 windows taking up space - 4 times more than if you only had 1 window. The rooting window version would have to be started from a window command line rather than an icon though. | ||||

Hmmm, interesting. I think it is possible to use some Gnome Shell extension to also remove the title bars (window decorations), then windows could be moved while holding Super key pressed. I don't know if it is possible in the framework used by Cin, but if an option to hide the title bars could be added, it would actually achieve the goal without giving up on multiple windows. | |
There seems to be piece of code that removes window decorations in DE-independent way: https://gist.github.com/muktupavels/d03bb14ea6042b779df89b4c87df975d Found via https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=12912 ('Index » Desktop » Hide window decoration of a specific window?') |

Well, I removed titles by using 'special' option in kde3's kwin (1440x900): Also, program like 'xmms' (old music player on gtk1) can be dragged around as one window, even if it actually comes as 3 separate windows Cinelerra-GG compact.png (414,985 bytes) |

@lfom That screenshot is kind of interesting with the thinner title bars -- thanks for sharing! We have done some things to provide a little more screen space. You might have read in the release notes, that now you can size the audio tracks separate from the video tracks + each patchbay for each track has a up/down toggle to change the track size. I can not remember if I mentioned this before but you can go into Settings->Preferences, Appearance tab and set the "Layout Scale" to a smaller size so that the Cinelerra windows, icons, and characters are smaller but, of course, the title bars coming from the O/S are the same size as before (which is the problem anyway). |
