Missing window controls

This is how Rescribe looks like on my Fedora 38, GNOME 44 machine

This is with the current version

Hi @maymage, I'm so sorry I left this issue for so long!

It has been a very long time since I've used Gnome (I use Sway myself), so I missed that the window decorations were missing - thanks so much for your report. I looked into window decoration support in the GUI toolkit we use (fyne), and it looks like the next version (2.5.0) will properly support decorations, thanks to this commit. I'll make a new flatpak release of rescribe updating to this once it's out and stable, and will keep this ticket open until then.

Thanks again for reporting this!

I just want to chime in on this. Wayland support is, as of Fyne v2.4.x, considered not fully supported and I would strongly advice against using the Wayland support as it currently stands. The users will get a lot better support with the X11 backend. However, this will hopefully not be the case with v2.5.0 once that releases. The PR mentioned above does improve things a lot but there are still a few minor hiccups left to solve (mostly scaling).

Hi @Jacalz, thanks for chiming in. I use wayland myself, and my experience with the Fyne wayland support is that it's perfectly good for Rescribe (with the exception of this issue), and the scaling is perfect, unlike X11 on Wayland. So I'll stick with Wayland unless I get reports of stuff not working for people. The flatpak package does actually include X11 and Wayland builds, and uses a little launcher script to decide which to execute based on what environment it's in (see line 27).

[Jacalz]

Alright. I'm glad that you find it to be working well. Nice idea with the script to launch the right binary.
I might want to do something similar for Jacalz/rymdport#122.

I'll talk to the rest of the Fyne team if we should consider backporting fyne-io/fyne#4481 and fyne-io/fyne#4704 for the new versions of GLFW with better Wayland support. I can't guarantee anything but I'll see what they have to say.

[Jacalz]

Another thing worth noting: I'm glad to see another Fyne application on Flatpak and Flathub. I regret not knowing about this one when doing the first talk in https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EsX8CgC_N5M&pp=ygUNZnluZWNvbmYgMjAyMw%3D%3D.

Feel free to reach out if you find any problems with Flatpak, Wayland support or any other issues. Things should be a lot nicer with fyne-io/fyne#4406 in v2.5.0 anyway.

[nickjwhite]

Yes absolutely @Jacalz, I'm really looking forward to the v2.5.0 release for the XDG Desktop Portal support and the window controlls stuff working, thanks for working on it!
