Describe the bug
The main window is buggy/weird on a tiling WM. It seems that the size of the content is hardcoded, so much of the window is just transparent content (where the root background is displayed). Example screenshot of just the solaar window:
Note that this is not a screenshot of my entire desktop; it's just solaar. The background you're seeing there is just pseudo-transparency inside the window.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- On a tiling window manager...
- Run
solaar
Additional context
Looks like the window control sizes are hardcoded to a default window size and don't react to the window resizing properly. For example, making a floating window wider results in this:
Again, whitespace is part of the window, it just looks like the main content won't expand.
