How do I center the window title?

Hi guys!

Because of the firefox and csd bug, I had to install the new xfwm4. And broke the layout of the title window. Its location. Before that, I used this patch, which centers the window title. How to arrange the title of the window strictly in the center? I can not apply this patch due to lack of knowledge and experience in this matter. I want to get this result (Screenshot from here ) FluxBB bbcode test

Hello and welcome.

That patch file will still work if applied to the xfwm4-git AUR package and going through a manual makepkg process like this:

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/xfwm4-git.tar.gz
tar xzvf xfwm4-git.tar.gz
cd xfwm4-git
makepkg -o

cd src/xfwm4/
### save PATCHFILE file here
patch -p0 < PATCHFILE

cd ../../
makepkg -ei

"makepkg -o" gets all the files but doesn't build. You then manually patch the source. "makepkg -i" then continues the build and install.

Ideally, one should create a new PKGBUILD file, but this manual process will get it installed.

Installed and restarted xfwm, but there is no result. Where could I be wrong?

What was the output on the screen when applied the patch file? Did it show that it took?

Sorry, my last command was missing a switch. It should be:

makepkg -ei

I'll make the correction above as well.

Now everything works! Thank you for help:)

Hello again! I noticed that some of the letters in the title are hidden. It is necessary that the end of the heading be hidden, and not its beginning.
So displayed now:

Must be so:

If the title is long, the beginning and end of the title change.

So it looks completely:
