Windows title bar question and suggestion/opinion perhaps.

[mikobuntu]

Hi is it possible to have the highlighted colour of the windows title bar changed from the blue to perhaps a darker grey ? And also i would like to see the minimize, maximize, close buttons switched to the left hand side and obviously the icons to the right. I say this for 2 reasons, (1) as a linux Ubuntu only user i keep going to the left hand side automatically ( force of habit ) to close etc a window (2) And as the app was originally created as a linux only app in the beginning i think it would be more fitting.

I know im biased in my opinion here, it would be interesting to hear everyones opinion on this, if it is even possible to do

thanks Mikobuntu :)

It make sense for unity and mac users. But im on kde and they are on the right
:-/ also window users would have a problem i think as well.

good point eagles05..... I wonder what way the user base is split in different OS's , as there isnt a real Mac port i guess none there, but it would be interesting to know. I know watching demos on youtube there are a lot of windows users tho ... Obviously i will be biased, and you can easily change the layout of your title bars in gconf-editor :) or the KDE equivelant perhaps kconf-editor :)

[eagles051387]

Correct me if im wrong here someone whose familiar with the code base,

I think the easiest would be to implement something that checks what os it is
being built for, and on linux the desktop environment.

That way we can have in terms of linux and mac the buttons on the left and
windows on the right or what ever we determine is the best way to go about
this.

I think the best would be for LMMS to see what the host OS does in this
regard and copy it's behaviour...

It's easy to say but hard to code I guess.

yeah that would be an excellent idea guys, During install would probably be the best time to do this check. I wonder how much harder this would be than the way LMMS and most apps find the language.

[eagles051387]

I am no cmake expert but I think it can be done during cmake.

Well perhaps it could be easiest to include the details of how to do this using CMake and include it in the README for Distro packagers?

[eagles051387]

I think we would need to also add some flags like --system-os = win32 or
something of the sort

yeah that could work i guess or perhaps it can be a user configurable switch in the general settings?

[eagles051387]

That would be the easiest tbh.

As I plan to replace the default MDI titlebar style anyways (something cool matching our theme!), it should be no problem to implement flexible button alignment which could be configurable in the settings dialog.

Unfa. 24. may: I think the best would be for LMMS to see what the host OS does in this regard and copy it's behaviour...

And thats definately the right way. Having strange 'interpitation' of OS standards, is seriously bad. Thats what gave the Blender project a lot of grief on windows -Kind of true for GIMP also.

IIRC tab support in Chrome and Firefox are just as bad in this regard :)
