This article mainly introduces the method of setting the Ubuntu18.10 modal dialog box to non-additional mode, which has a certain reference value. Interested friends can refer to it. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article.

There are two modes of the modal dialog box for windows in the Ubuntu 18.10 system: additional and non-attached. In attach mode, the position of the dialog box cannot be moved when the window pops up, while in non-attach mode, the position of the dialog box on the screen can be moved at will. At that time, the default was "additional" mode, which caused some inconvenience in use. How do I change it to non-attached mode?

The method is as follows

1. If the modal dialog box of the system setting window is in "attach" mode, it becomes impossible to view the contents of the parent window because the dialog box cannot be moved. Moreover, the size of the dialog box defaults to full screen, so it is very inconvenient to resize it. As shown in the picture, a browser window opens on the screen, which occupies the entire screen by default.

2. At this time, if you open the "Open File" dialog box (this is a "modal" dialog box), you can see that the dialog box occupies the entire screen, and its parent window, the browser, is no longer visible. Moreover, because the dialog box occupies the entire screen by default, it is also inconvenient to see the parent window behind it by resizing the window-you cannot precisely position the cursor to the edge of the dialog box.

3. At this point, you need to modify the "additional" setting of the dialog box-you need to use the software Gnome Tweaks optimization tool. Press the Super key (that is, the Win key on the keyboard), enter the word "optimize", and press enter to start the Gnome Tweaks optimization tool software.

4. In the launched Gnome Tweaks optimization tool software window, click the "window" category in the navigation bar on the left, and the content on the right shows the content of the classification.

5. The first item is the "additional modal dialog box", which is interpreted as: "when enabled, modal dialogs are attached to their parent windows and cannot be moved." As you can see, this option is on by default. Now, let's turn it off.

6. Now, if you open the dialog box in the window, you can move the dialog box at will.

7. Moreover, by moving the open dialog box away from the edge of the screen, you can resize the dialog box at will.

8. By setting the "attach" mode of the "modal" dialog box, we no longer have to suffer from the fact that the dialog box cannot be moved so that we cannot view the contents of the main window. We can even move the dialog box out of the area of the parent window.
