<title>Window Behavior</title>
|

|

<para> In the upper part of this control module you can see several
|
||||
tabs: <guilabel>Focus</guilabel>, <guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel>,
|
||||
<guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>, <guilabel>Moving</guilabel>,
|
||||
<guilabel>Advanced</guilabel>, and <guilabel>Translucency</guilabel>.
|
||||
|
||||
In the <guilabel>Focus</guilabel> panel you can configure how windows gain or
|
||||
lose focus, &ie; become active or inactive.
|
||||
|
||||
Using <guilabel>Titlebar Actions</guilabel> and <guilabel>Window Actions</guilabel>
|
||||
you can configure how titlebars and windows react to
|
||||
mouse clicks.
|
||||
|
||||
<guilabel>Moving</guilabel> allows you to configure how
|
||||
windows move and place themselves when started.
|
||||
|
||||
The <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> options cover some specialized options
|
||||
involving moving windows between desktops and <quote>window
|
||||
shading</quote>.
|
||||
|
||||
The <guilabel>Translucency</guilabel> options support
|
||||
window manager desktop effects through the kompmgr compositing manager.
|

<note>
|

<para>
|

Please note the configuration options in this module will not take effect
|

when you do not use &tde;'s native window manager, &twin;. When you use a
|
||||
different window manager, please refer to the respective documentation for
|
||||
customizing window behavior.

The <quote>focus</quote> of the desktop refers to the window which the

<para>Focus does not necessarily mean the window is the one at the

are configured independently.</para>

Moving the mouse pointer actively over a normal window activates it. New

windows such as the mini command line invoked with

<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> will receive the focus,
|
||||
without you having to point the mouse at them explicitly.

<para>

In other window managers, this is sometimes known as <quote>Sloppy focus

<listitem>

<para>

The window that happens to be under the mouse pointer becomes active. When
|

the mouse is not over a window (for instance, it's on the desktop) the last
|
||||
window that was under the mouse has focus. New windows such as the mini
|
||||
command line invoked with <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> will
|
||||
not receive the focus, you must move the mouse over them to type.

strict with its interpretation. Only the window under the mouse pointer is

active. When the mouse pointer is not over a window, no window has focus.
|
||||
New windows such as the mini command line invoked with
|
||||
<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo> will not receive the focus,
|
||||
you must move the mouse over them to type.

<note><para>Note that <guilabel>Focus Under Mouse</guilabel> and

<para>
|

After deciding the focus policy, there are window raising options.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
When enabling <guilabel>Auto raise</guilabel>, &tde; can
|
||||
bring a window to the front when the mouse is over that window for a
|
||||
specified period. When <guilabel>Delay focus</guilabel> is enabled,
|
||||
there will be a delay after which the window the mouse pointer is over will become
|
||||
active (receive focus).
|
||||
This is very useful with the <guilabel>Focus Follows Mouse</guilabel> option.
|
||||
You can determine the delay for both options by using the spin box controls.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<tip>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Setting the delay too short will cause a rapid fire changing of
|
||||
windows, which can be quite distracting. Most people will like a delay
|
||||
of 100-300 milliseconds. This is responsive, but it will let you slide over the
|
||||
corners of a window on your way to your destination without bringing
|
||||
that window to the front.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
</tip>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
When you do not use <guilabel>Auto raise</guilabel>, ensure the
|
||||
<guilabel>Click raises active window</guilabel> option is enabled. You
|
||||
will not be happy with both <guilabel>Auto raise</guilabel> and
|
||||
<guilabel>Click raises active window</guilabel> disabled, the net effect is that
|
||||
windows are not raised at all.
