Ok, i'm no programmer, but since you keep saying that this is not a technical
problem maybe i can help...
Given that you are programming a compositor and not a complete DE, i think
that you should try to implement server-side decorations, if it sucks (or if
it sucks for somebody) we could simpl
The linked document pretty clearly indicates that you can just extend
the blurry render further into the window. There are only 4 parameters
to set the margin thickness, yet the demo program draws a more complex
rendering where the resulting shape two rectangular opaque areas. This

In Haiku OS, there is a separate thread for window content versus input
response, so its (theoretically) impossible to make an applications
completely nonresponsive. It should always at least be able to resize. I
would love to see this set as the standard model in Wayland, even if
compatibility wit

everybody can see that an increase of machine speed of over 2000x has
not fixed it!

I've got one questions about unresponsive applications.
I'm quite good at punishing computers. I've found that many
applications stop responding when they shouldn't, for example when
accessing the disk (say if I trash the disk a lot doing something else
at the same time).
