Hi,
I am new to juce, and I am evaluating it as an alternative for my crossplatform GUI/Audio needs, particularly as a replacement for FLTK.
I noticed that when using setUsingNativeTitleBar(true), my window doesn’t get a minimize and maximize button (with gnome/metacity, but I suppose this is general). Is this correct?

Did you have a look at DocumentWindow::setTitleBarButtonsRequired() ?
Yes, I did. Here is what i do:
HelloWorldWindow()
: DocumentWindow (T(“Hello World”),
Colours::lightgrey,
DocumentWindow::allButtons,
true)
{
setContentComponent (new HelloWorldContentComponent());
setUsingNativeTitleBar(true);
setTitleBarButtonsRequired(DocumentWindow::allButtons,true);
setVisible (true);
centreWithSize (400, 200);
}
Hmm - come to think of it, I don’t think I ever got that to work properly on linux. In juce_linux_Windowing.cpp there’s an addWindowButtons method, but I never added all the millions of stupid workarounds needed for all the slightly-different window managers… I’ll make a note to take another look at that when I get chance.
fltk does create the titlebar buttons properly, and the code does not
seem to take in account any window-manager exceptions.
you might want to have a look at:
void Fl_X::sendxjunk()
in file fltk-1.1.7/src/Fl_x.cxx
hope this helps.
i’m actually using cgwd (window_decorator) with compiz (window_manager) and xgl (opengl X server) and the buttons are working as expected with setTitleBarButtonsRequired apart from maximise button… just to notice
ah, great. Thanks for the tips! I’ll take a look at that asap.
With Gnome the native buttons aren’t there (except the close button), with Fluxbox it’s fine. I didn’t test KDE yet.
Just having a play with this now - it seems that the code to turn on the min/max buttons is fine, but they only work if you remove line 1545 (i.e. the one that calls XSetTransientForHint).
I wish I could remember why I added the transient call, I’m sure there’s a reason for it being there, but for now, I guess I’ll remove it…
