[VDG] tooltip background box whitespace

Open MaxHillebrand opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Tooltips have a white background box in i3wm. It would be nice to at least remove the large whitespace at the top.

I think this is an inherent problem on Qubes/i3 since it forces windows to be visible against a rectangular border for security purposes iirc.

Probably, but at least removing the extra whitespace seems reasonable.

It can be decreased a bit, but definitely not removed. It would look ugly.

This occurred for a user on 2.0.7 as well - "I'm testing Wasabi on debian with openbox as window manager (it's not a 'normal' debian desktop though. It's stripped down a lot and running in docker, so it's pretty niche), but it looks like this. I figure it has something to do with the transparency effect of the Avalonia control. But I don't have much experience with that, or even linux desktop/window managers, x11 and stuff, to know if this is normal behavior or I need something on the linux box to get the transparency effect. Any clues?"

That was me and I figured it out.

I was testing on a minimal debian docker container with openbox window manager. But there was no 'compositor' running. Which is needed for transparency effects like this.

I tried 'picom', but got some ugly artifacts. I tried 'compton' and it now looks like this:

Solution: make sure there is a compositer daemon running. (Qubes does not have one by default I suppose)
