\"Gtk3<\/a><\/p>\n

In Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10, some Gnome applications use client-side decorations which don’t work properly in the default Unity Desktop.<\/b><\/p>\n

The applications with client-side decorations look broken in Unity and they are unresizable. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

\"Gnome<\/a>

Gnome Clock in Ubuntu 14.04<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Gthumb\"<\/a>

The Latest gthumb 3.3.2 (gthumb from Ubuntu repositories is old and does not use CSD)<\/p><\/div>\n

gtk3-nocsd<\/a>, a hack by one of the LXDE founders, is a small module used to disable the client side decoration of gtk+ 3.<\/b> It works on most, but not all CSD applications.<\/p>\n

After disabled client side decoration, above applications will look like:<\/p>\n

\"Gnome<\/a>

Gnome Clock with CSD disabled (Picture was taken in Gnome-Shell)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"gthumb<\/a>

gthumb with CSD disabled<\/p><\/div>\n

How to Install & Use gtk3-nocsd<\/b><\/p>\n

This module has been made into Webupd8 PPA, available for Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04. <\/p>\n

Press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/b> on keyboard to open the terminal. When it opens, paste the commands below and run one by one:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard\/webupd8\n\nsudo apt-get update\n\nsudo apt-get install gtk3-nocsd<\/pre>\n
To disable client side decoration, for gnome clock as example:<\/b><\/p>\n
First run command to edit the application shortcut file, .desktop<\/code> file under \/usr\/share\/applications or .local\/share\/applications.<\/p>\n
gksudo gedit \/usr\/share\/applications\/gnome-clocks.desktop<\/pre>\n
When the file opens, add env LD_PRELOAD=\/usr\/lib\/gtk3-nocsd\/gtk3-nocsd.so<\/code> to the value of Exec<\/b> as a parameter, so it looks like:<\/p>\n
 \"disable-csd\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Save the file and done. Note that gtk3-nocsd does not work for gnome-tweak-tool, gnome-music, etc.<\/p>\n
