App without window decorations
« on: March 22, 2019, 06:04:09 PM »
What would cause a Qt-5 app (Subsurface) to not have window decorations when started. It's stuck in the upper left corner. I just compiled an extension, but I'd like to get it working fully before submitting it.

Apps can request not to have decorations. Perhaps subsurface does it. That's how various popups don't get them.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Switching windows managers to xfwm4 solves the problem, so what is it about flwm that causes it to fail to adorn the app? I don't see a command line option for debug, is there an environment variable that might turn it on?

fltk/flwm doesn't have libXft support - is that maybe the cause?

I notice the same behavior with other qt-5 apps like pgmodeler, avidemux, and texworks. If there is a qt setting to change window creation options I haven't found it yet.
