sensitive assuming your device is properly configured.
USER TIPS:
-Ardesia is set to be 'always on top' and will be on top of even desktop
-panels. However, if you have shortcuts too or launch the program with
-'-d' you can toggle the 'always on top' option and the panel should
-be back on top. This will allow you to opperate at least operate the
-panel as well as minimize ardesia to regain full control over the
-desktop. Personally, they should of had a 'pass through' mode so that
-you would not have to hide the panel or the drawings to do things on
-the desktop.
+
+Ardesia functions differently under different window managers.
+
+Fluxbox/Blackbox: D-
+Even with cairo-compmgr or xcompmgr these only function with a solid color
+background. You may have difficulty selecting tool box, try launching
+with '-d'. As for other minimalist window managers, you are on your own.
+
+XFCE: C
+The drawing window has a title bar and you can't type in windows unless shaded
+or minimized. Unknown work around for this.
+
+KDE: A+
+Default KDE settings will darken the screen. To fix this
+System Settings > All Effects Tab > Shadow Properties > Uncheck Active windows
+have stronger shadows > Disable Shadows (important if running) > Click Apply.
+Optionally re-enable Shadows and click Apply.
+
+GNOME 3.0: F
+Sorry, I have no work around for the issues with this window manager.
+- The Application hides the bar at the top (you can still access Activities
+ with a shortcut key.
+- The Tool Box will always be below the drawing window.
+- Because of the tool box, the main features of pictures, pdf, an screen
+ record can not be accessed.
+
+Other:
+If you have 'focus' extensions that gray out everything but the focused
+window, you will probably have to disable it. However, if you are using
+compiz, you probably are not using ardesia because there is a plugin for all
+this functionality.
+
+General:
+Depending on the window manager, you may need to launch as "ardesia -d" to
+obtain control of the tools panel. This may also require tweaking of other
+settings to have the pannel appear on top of the drawing overlay window. You
+may have to toggle "always on top" for the drawing window if you are capable
+of toggling it seperatly from the tool box window.
+
+The "mouse option" only seems to effectively work in KDE and XFCE. This is
+a pass through mode that will interact with the desktop below the drawing
+window.
The PDF export will allow you to add new pages to a pdf that are screen
captures of when the button is pressed. It does not save vector shapes.
-Fluxbox and Blackbox are not compatible! The program will draw
-black over everything and not allow you to access the tools the same
-goes for curtain and spotlighter (maintained by ardesia). Openbox
-works without issues. You are on your own testing other minimalist
-window managers.
+Here some xprops of the windows if you can control windows based on these:
+
+Tool Box:
+WM_CLASS(STRING) = "ardesia", "Ardesia"
+WM_NAME(STRING) = "Ardesia"
+
+Drawing Window:
+WM_CLASS(STRING) = "ardesia", "Ardesia"
+WM_NAME(STRING) = "window"
+
This requires gsl.
