# Tweaks
|
|
|
|
## Enabling User-Configuration
|
|
|
|
If you've installed the script from KDE Store, you need to enable configuration button via:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kservices5/
|
|
ln -s ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/bismuth/metadata.desktop ~/.local/share/kservices5/bismuth.desktop
|
|
|
|
A configuration button will appear in `KWin Scripts` in `System Settings`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Track this issue [here](#56).
|
|
|
|
## Making changes to configuration
|
|
|
|
To make changes effective, **the script must be reactivated**:
|
|
|
|
1. On `KWin Scripts` dialog, untick Bismuth
|
|
2. Hit `Apply`
|
|
3. Tick Bismuth
|
|
4. Hit `Apply` again
|
|
|
|
Track this issue [here](#22).
|
|
|
|
## Setting Up for Multi-Screen
|
|
|
|
Bismuth supports multi-screen setup, but KWin has to be configured to unlock
|
|
the full potential of the script.
|
|
|
|
1. Enable `Separate Screen Focus` under `Window Management` >
|
|
`Window Behavior` > `Multiscreen Behaviour`
|
|
2. Bind keys for global shortcut `Switch to Next/Previous Screen`
|
|
(Recommend: `Meta + ,` / `Meta + .`)
|
|
3. Bind keys for global shortcut `Window to Next/Previous Screen`
|
|
(Recommend: `Meta + <` / `Meta + >`)
|
|
|
|
Note: `Separate Screen Focus` appears only when multiple monitors are present.
|
|
|
|
## Removing Title Bars
|
|
|
|
Breeze window decoration can be configured to completely remove title bars from
|
|
all windows:
|
|
|
|
1. `System Setting` > `Application Style` > `Window Decorations`
|
|
2. Click `Configure Breeze` inside the decoration preview.
|
|
3. `Window-Specific Overrides` tab > `Add` button
|
|
4. Enter the followings, and press `Ok`:
|
|
- `Regular expression to match`: `.*`
|
|
- Tick `Hide window title bar`
|
|
|
|
## Changing Border Colors
|
|
|
|
Changing the border color makes it easier to identify current window. This is
|
|
convenient if title bars are removed.
|
|
|
|
1. Open `~/.config/kdeglobals` with your favorite editor
|
|
2. Scroll down and find `[WM]` section
|
|
3. Append the followings to the section:
|
|
|
|
- `frame=61,174,233`: set the border color of active window to _RGB(61,174,233)_
|
|
- `inactiveFrame=239,240,241`: set the border color of inactive window to _RGB(239,240,241)_
|
|
|
|
Here's a nice 2-liner that'll do it for you:
|
|
|
|
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kdeglobals --group WM --key frame 61,174,233
|
|
kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kdeglobals --group WM --key inactiveFrame 239,240,241
|
|
|
|
4. You must **restart** your session to see changes. (i.e. re-login, reboot)
|
|
|
|
Note: the RGB values presented here are for the default Breeze theme
|
|
|
|
Note: You might also need to set the border size larger than the theme's default:
|
|
`System Settings` > `Application Style` > `Window Decorations`: Untick `Use theme's default window border size` and adjust the size (right from the checkbox).
|
|
|
|
## Setting Minimum Geometry Size
|
|
|
|
Some applications like discord and KDE settings don't tile nicely as they have a minimum size requirement.
|
|
This causes the applications to overlap with other applications. To mitigate this we can set minimum size for all windows to be 0.
|
|
|
|
1. `System Setting` > `Window Management` > `Window Rules`
|
|
2. Click on `+ Add New...`
|
|
3. Set `Window class` to be `Unimportant`
|
|
4. Set `Window types` to `Normal Window`
|
|
5. Click `+ Add Properties...`
|
|
6. Add the `Minimum Size` Property
|
|
7. Set the fields to `Force` and `0` x `0`
|
|
8. Apply
