WIndow Snapping

[Norby Droid]

Is there a way to stop the Window snapping in Sparky Linux?  I went lookin around online and in settings before I came here,  I unchecked everything under Window Manager but it doesn't seem to do anything.  Also I installed TwisterUI and don't know if this snapping is a part of the twister behavior or not.  Anyways I hope someone can help.  Thanks.

I am runnin Sparky Linux 6 xfce on a Lenovo Yoga 730 if that info is needed.

edit: nevermind, I did not read the post correctly e.g. you already have it turned off in window manager.

It isn't off.  It still happens.  When I move window and it hits the top it goes full.  When it hits the sides it makes it snap to a rectangle along the wall.  This is extremely annoyin.  Yeah I can do my best not to hit the edges, but still would be nice to completely disable the feature.  I already was able to disable completely the laptop trackpad.  Phew.  SO is there a way to disable completely the snapping?

Yeah, I got that part :-D

I skimmed your original message to quickly and posted advise to turn the snapping off using the window manager settings (and you wrote that you already done that, hence I change my message).

In standard sparky XFCE desktop changing those settings in window manager does the trick.

SO is there a way to disable completely the snapping?

It sounds to me like TwisterUI is ignoring XFCE window manager settings. Unfortunately I have no experience with TwisterUI. I was unable to find detailed configuration settings of TwisterUI online.

Is that the default UI that TwisterOS uses ?

I am not sure what ya mean.

As an experiment I installed Sparky in virtualbox clean and without addin the TwisterUI themes.  Only added items after install was neofetch and Nala-legacy.

Again I went into the Settings Manager and then the advanced tab and unticked all ticked items and closed the window.  I may be doin somethin wrong because I still get the effect movin a window to the top or sides has the effect of maximizing or placin the window in a rectangle on either side.

The isue may not be either Sparky nor TwisterUI but rather I am missin somethin or I am not disablin the right items.  I won't be blamin the system if the error is mine.

Thanks for the help.

If the twisterUI that you installed is the same UI that twisterOS uses.

In my previous post I did not find an answer to that (bad used search terms), now I have confirmation, see for example here: https://blog.desdelinux.net/en/twister-os-twister-ui/

It is indeed the same UI that TwisterOS uses.

Very strange.

If I run sparky xfce from a USB-pendrive (e.g. live mode thus no twisterUI) and take the same actions that you did then the window snapping is actually turned off for me.

Sorry, but I have no idea what could cause things to fail for you to such extend that it does not work the same on your setup.

Hopefully you are able to figure it out because I agree with you that the window snapping is annoying especially when you have your desktop full of windows and want some of those windows to move around (when space is cramped you often find yourself dragging a window to a snap position).
