For some strange reason the resize outline in xfwm is now white (which is bad if the outline is displayed over a white window) - so is there any way to change the used color to something else?) http://i.imgur.com/pbKCeC5.png env LANG=C pacman -Si xfwm4 Repository : extra Name : xfwm4 Version : 4.11.2-4 Description : Xfce window manager Architecture : x86_64 URL : http://www.xfce.org/ Licenses : GPL2 Groups : xfce4 Provides : xfwm4 Depends On : libxfce4ui>=4.11 libwnck hicolor-icon-theme exo Optional Deps : None Conflicts With : xfwm4 xfwm4-git Replaces : None Download Size : 483.68 KiB Installed Size : 2563.00 KiB Packager : Philip M Build Date : Fri Jan 23 22:11:32 2015 Validated By : MD5 Sum SHA256 Sum Signature
When the compositor is enabled, the resize/move outline is now an ARGB window of the color of your gtk theme for selected items. If the color is white it's because your gtk theme use white as selection color. So, either: - Change your gtk theme (it looks broken, using white for selection) - or disable the compositor - or enable opaque move/resize.
Hi, thx for the reply >change your gtk theme (it looks broken, using white for selection) I don't think so xfwm is just using the wrong color eg: it seems it is loading the bg[selected] color instead of base[selected] which is used by gtk for the selection in textwidgets/iconviews etc. anyway even if i would change it would still break my usability eg: if i use #ff00ff as selection color and using a wallpaper/desktop color with the same or a similar color (makes the outline barely visible)

As I said, if you don't like the cairo wireframe, disable the compositor or enable opaque move/resize, this change is not going away.
>this change is not going away. actually i like this change, but is there no way to add a fixed color in xfwms themerc/xfconf like we can do for the title text? or better a color button to set / force this to a specific color in xfwms settings dialog? here another example with the greybird theme and the default xfce wallpaper: http://i.imgur.com/Zpck0r2.png
