If I place the mouse over the titlebar of a window, and roll the mouse-wheel, the window will become shaded. Is there any way to disable this feature?

  • Are you running Compiz? Is this relevant?

    In Xfce 4.10, the mousewheel_rollup property is set to false already. This means, rolling the mouse wheel over the title bar of a window does not shade the window by default. No action is required.

  • @user125388 for me it was not false by default, but thanks for the hint on the correct property to search for.

Reset to default

better format: (sry 4 double answer)

  1. go to settings> setting editor
  2. click on xfwm4 in 'chanel side bar
  3. click on general to display tree list and find one called 'mouesewheel_rollup'
  4. click on to highlight and click edit icon at top of window
  5. its a Bool so all you need to do is uncheck enable box.
  6. save

In 4.14, I had to go bac a decade to this old solution:

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/mousewheel_rollup -s false
