1. Pre-configuring window-specific settings
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
Window-specific settings is a feature of KWin that allows specifying some
|
|
settings only for a specific window or windows. See the Window-specific
|
|
settings section in the KWin configuration and the Special settings
|
|
menu entries in Alt+F3/Advanced menu.
|
|
|
|
One aspect of window-specific settings is the ability to specify various
|
|
workarounds for (usually broken) applications that otherwise don't work
|
|
properly with KWin. This section describes how to create additional
|
|
window-specific settings that will be automatically used by all users
|
|
without any need of manual configuration.
|
|
|
|
Example case:
|
|
|
|
Application FooBar does not specify any maximum size for its main window,
|
|
but when resized to larger size than 1600x1200 it crashes because of a bug.
|
|
Manual configuration of a window-specific setting that avoids this problem
|
|
is opening and activating this window, selecting
|
|
Alt+F3/Advanced/Special window settings, activating tab Workarounds, enabling
|
|
setting Maximum size, changing it to Force and entering "1600,1200" as
|
|
the maximum size, which will make KWin force this size as the maximum size.
|
|
|
|
To create such window-specific setting automatically without a need of doing
|
|
it manually for every user create file with the window-specific settings in
|
|
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kwin/default_rules/
|
|
|
|
All KDE user accounts should have these new window-specific settings added
|
|
automatically during next KDE startup (or within few seconds if they are active).
|
|
They can be checked again in the Window-specific settings configuration module of KWin.
