Borderless Window option -b Does Not Work WIth Wayland Backend

[sonic2kk]

Tested individual commits f554d88 and d4ca0b9, but did not bisect. Unsure if this is a regression or not. Tested on KDE Plasma Wayland 6.1.4.

The borderless window option -b does not work with the Wayland backend, which is selected by default on (compatible?) Wayland compositors. Forcing the backend to SDL with --backend=sdl displays a borderless window as expected.

Window decorations can be hid on KWin Wayland, so I don't think this is a Wayland limitation.

Example commands:

• -b --backend=wayland -- glxgears will display window decorations when it should not.
• -b --backend=sdl -- glxgears will hide window decorations as expected.

Seems that libdecor_frame_set_visibility is not working as expected in WaylandBackend:

gamescope/src/Backends/WaylandBackend.cpp

Line 949 in d4ca0b9

libdecor_frame_set_visibility( m_pFrame, !g_bBorderlessOutputWindow );

Not sure why. All this is entirely out of my depth, just tested locally with some debug prints to make sure this was actually being called, and it is. When hardcoded to false the decorations still show.

I guess this depends on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libdecor/libdecor/-/merge_requests/147

Also experiencing this problem. For now I am working around it with KWin Scripts. @misyltoad It would be swell if the above linked issue could be revisited when time permits 🙂
