Is it possible to disable roll-in / roll-out completely in xfce4?

I don't like the roll-in/roll-out function in xfce4 at all. In the rolled-in state, the title bar can appear on top of the title bar of a completely different window. Then you see something completely wrong. If my screen is too full, I simply minimize the windows that I don't need at the moment - or even faster: I use Super-D to minimize all windows and then reactivate only those in which I work alternately.

Somehow it must be possible to make this function pair completely ineffective in the Windows Manager of xfce4! All my searches so far have only shown me ways to disable roll-in as a double-click function on a window title bar or mouse scroll wheel operations in certain places. But I don't need roll-in/out at all and want to get rid of them everywhere! It would even be better to simultaneously get rid of the associated buttons on all title bars, but if this would be very complicated, I'd still live with non-operational buttons for this function pair.

If these functions are implemented together in an .so object or separately in two .so objects, it should be possible to simply replace them with another version that simply uses their call interfaces and does nothing. Are these two functions in separate or a shared .so object? If that is the case: what is the name of it?

Solution

  • Yes, the trick from answer to a similar question does it:

    There is no way to globally disable this option. However, you can:

    before

    • remove the roll-up button from he title bar (Settings Manager > Window Manager > Style tab)
    • disable double-click on the titlebar to rollup (Settings Manager > Window Manager > Advanced tab)

    after

    ...

    • disable mouse scroll to roll up (Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Accessibility tab)

    Thanks for the hint!
