[Solved] Strange resize button has appeared

Apostate · 2011-12-25 20:45:05

Hi I noticed that an ugly resize button has appeared on the bottom right corner of all my windows. How do I make it conform to the themes I use?

Here it is on Pidgin. I am running Xubuntu.

You can adjust the size of the grip by adding the following code snippet to ~/.gtkrc-2.0:

#window grip size tweak
style "default-style"
{
	GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 5
	GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 5
}
class "GtkWidget" style "default-style"

I find the value of 5 is a good comprise between grip visibility and functionality (the smaller the value the harder to grab the corner). The default value for the greybird theme is 13.

Thank you that's worked - makes it look much better.

Is there a guide to the various tweaks to ~/.gtkrc-2.0?

Here are some links that I've come across:

GTK+2 Reference Manual: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/index.html
GTK+2 Theming Tutorial: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes

There is also an older forum thread over at ubuntuforums that talks about theming GTK with examples: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=377397
