How to "redecorate" windows?
I right-clicked the title bar of Rhythmbox and then clicked Un/Decorate. Now the title bar is gone. I want it back and I can't figure out how.
I tried hitting D, but nothing happens.
Solution 1:
Strangely, by default, there is no toggle to decorate/undecorate a window.
You need to do one of two things: either define a keybinding to toggle or use the shortcut key to redisplay the window menu.
Lets examine option 1
To do this:
-
Open
lxterminal
and run:leafpad ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
-
Search for the first instance of
<keybinding>
. -
Then add the following keybinding:
<keybind key="W-A-D"> <action name="ToggleDecorations"></action> </keybind>
-
Now run:
openbox --reconfigure
to make your changes effective (alternatively, you can logout and login).
-
You'll be able to toggle the decoration using Meta+Alt+D.
The Windows key is also another name for Meta.
Lets also examine option 2
Thanks to Glutanimate.
Pressing Alt+Space will display the window submenu where you can select Un/Decorate. Obviously this doesn't need a keybinding, but it's nice to have a toggle option to quickly turn the titlebar on/off.
Solution 2:
I have just managed to invoke the Openbox' context menu on an undecorated window by right-clicking the bottom edge of the window. It's just that you need to right-click as soon as the resize cursor is displayed. The previous tricks did not work for me because there was a virtual Windows machine inside the window, so it was catching the Alt+space key combination...
