http://forums.opensuse.org – While the desktop is beautiful, why hasn't the openSUSE team created a new theme/look for windows and window title bars to match? It would look even better if all windows looked like the widget window that's on the desktop. It's be more consistent and much more modern than cleanlooks, oxygen or any of the other window styles available - all these look like they're from 10 years ago. Please openSUSE team - fix the window styles! (Distributions)

Unfortunately, I am using Oxygen window decorations already.I do have the "Attach as tab to" option but it is a pain to have to group every window manually.

I'm using the i3 Window Manager, and am quite happy so far, but I have a few issues.

Using XFCE, my "Desktop" is seen as a separate container (window). That means that when I open a new program in the first workspace, that it will split the screen in two and show Desktop as one window, and the other program in another window.

I'm playing around with various shell themes, but noticed that they don't necessarily match the available window themes.

I would like to change the icons displayed in window title bars:

The window icons appear to be unrelated to the icons used by launchers and docks, as they don't follow the ones defined in their respective .desktop files.

I am running 11.10 and i need to have a vnc window for the connection to my windows 7 box (booo hiss etc) , i have two screens attached to my pc.

i would like to have a fullscreen dual window VNC window on one of the two workspaces of my ubuntu desktop , currently i can get close to this by manually resizing the vnc window as big as i can on the second workspace when it opens .

Themes & Window Styles? 3 years 24 weeks ago

Is it possible to use the other themes and window style from gnome, xfce, etc into KDE? Because I like the B-series Window styles of xfce and I would like to use them in KDE.

The KDE window style are boring!..., :( the B11 is ok, but I want to use the B6 window style among others of xfce..

Error in titlebar 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hi everyone! First post here, so if i'm doing something wrong or posting in the wrong place, please forgive me ;)

I'm using OpenSUSE 11.2 with KDE 4.3.4 window decoration is nitrogen, but i had the same problem with oxygen as well.

I have recently had my xfce desktop stop clearing windows when the window is closed. The window's image remains on the desktop, as if it were still open. If I drag the window to a different location, the ghosting from the move remains on the screen. The 'Application Menu' has also stopped working.

In Ubuntu, is it possible to attach one window to another window (so that one window becomes the "parent window" of the other window)? I'd like to know if it's possible to do this for any two open windows (for example, a Firefox browser window and a gedit window).
