eOS 8: Certain apps have integration issues

[teamcons]

What Happened?

Certain apps seem to not integrate well with the rest of the system, with the same issues :

• Windows cannot be resized (not without Alt+F8)
• Window buttons are minimize, maximize, close, all on the right.
• The cursor is also not the one from Elementary

Affected apps: Spotify, Discord, BeeRef

Window snapping works

Steps to Reproduce

Install one of the mentioned apps (electron app ?)
-try resizing
-look at window buttons
-look at cursor / cursor transition when leaving the window

Expected Behavior

App follows the rest of the system's theme, and can be resized without shortcut

OS Version

8.x (Early Access)

Software Version

Can you confirm whether you are using the Secure Session (Wayland) or the Classic Session (X11)?

Oh yes my apologies, it's Wayland

They do not follow accent color either. I get the standard darker blue thingie.

I can confirm the window buttons and cursor however I can't confirm the resizing issue can anybody reproduce that?

[leolost2605]

Marking out of scope since these are mostly mutter/application issues that we can't really do anything about :/

Is it ? I dont recall these issues on Gnome with Fedora. Where should i report this ?
For anyone looking for some homecooked fix, window buttons placement is fixed by adding to .config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini the lines :

[Settings]
gtk-decoration-layout=close:maximize

[leolost2605]

AFAIK Fedora applies some custom theming to make apps integrate better not sure what repo that would be for elementary though. The only thing I'm pretty sure about is that we can't do anything about it in gala but I can transfer this to triage so that somebody who knows better can move it to the right place :)

@teamcons can you open a separate issue report in elementary/default-settings for adding the gtk-4 settings file?

Generally it's better to open separate individual reports for each issue. Group reports are really hard to track and assign because oftentimes their causes and solutions are from different components
