Fedora 10 ships with compiz and launches it as: compiz --ignore-desktop-hints glib gconf This causes compiz to load the glib and gconf plugins at startup. This works fine. The problem arises when the gconf database does not include those plugins in /apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/active_plugins. What happens is that the plugins get loaded at startup, and after all the

I recently started using compiz-fusion. After spending months looking at an anemic little rectangular on-screen volume control when I use the volume buttons on my ubuntu thinkpad T60p, all of a sudden I noticed that I was getting a nice, big, robust rounded-corner display (somewhat mac-like). Now it's gone again. I really have no clue whether this came from compiz-fusion, emerald, a plugin,

Hi, A new compiz release 0.6.2 is now available from: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/app/compiz-0.6.2.tar.gz which can be verified with: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/app/compiz-0.6.2.tar.gz.sha1 ab5ecad856049a12a803fe6c94c3e55cdfcb5f68 compiz-0.6.2.tar.gz http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/app/compiz-0.6.2.tar.gz.sha1.asc

Hi, There are a couple of problems with Snapping Windows that I tried to fix: (1) The snap to windows checkbox in ccsm has no effect because Snap treats any window with struts as an edge, and all windows have struts. I think it should be a test for dock windows. (2) Windows don't snap to the left edge because it has been erased. The right edge doesn't seem to get erased because it is

Compiz 0.9.14.0 has been officially released today. Major changes in this release include: - Development has switched from Bazaar (back) to Git [1]. - CCSM has been ported to PyGObject, GTK 3 and Python 3. - compizconfig-python has been ported from Pyrex to Cython. - Restored the Color Filter plugin by porting it to the new plugin API. - Added support for loading configuration from multiple

Compiz 0.8.4 is released! This is the second stable release of Compiz 0.8 series. This release brings two new plugins, translation updates, many bug fixes, improved stability, and better screen resolution change handling. Also included is additional integration work for KDE 4. In particular, window thumbnails are now supported in Plasma window tooltips with the new KDE compatibility plugin, the

Hello. While playing with Compiz window switchers (there are several) I noticed that the selected window name is displayed but not vocalized by the screen reader. I was initially surprised after discovering that the window title is not drawn with GTK; but I understand that Compiz itself does not actually depend on GTK --- only the GTK window decorator and CCSM use it. So Compiz renders text

Hi all, I finally got around to producing an 0.8.10 release. Here are the details, which are also posted on my blog <http://blog.northfield.ws>. It took a bit of setup and cook time but compiz 0.8.10 tarballs are ready now including addons-experimental plugin package. Anyone who has installed compiz before knows it can be confusing so here, I will focus on installing 0.8.10 using the

Compiz 0.9.0 is released! This is the first unstable release of the Compiz 0.9 series. This release represents a complete rewrite of the 0.8 series from C to C++, brings a whole new developer API, splits rendering into plugins, switches the buildsystem from automake to cmake and brings minor functionality improvements. This release represents the first developer and tester preview of what will

Hello. [Resending the message from a subscribed address] I'm Luca Saiu. I'm part of a small but very motivated team in France, working on accessibility; you might have already exchanged some messages with my colleagues Jean-Philippe Mengual, Ksamak and Raphaël Poitevin. We are developing a customized version of debian using Compiz with Emerald and MATE. I've developed a relatively

I'm using the latest compiz-git (along with compcomm patches & ccsm) and I'm having troubles with some keybindings. It seems that compiz is somehow intercepting any shortcuts that I try to use that are Control +Alt+*OTHER*. For example, I have set in my xfce keyboard settings to lock the screen on Control+Alt+l, it works fine with xfwm4 and the last version of beryl, but it only

This may seem rather obvious, but how do I alter the window decorations, such as making the titlebar opaque, and changing it's colour? In CCSM -> Window Decoration -> Command I have set emerald, as I use KDE (on Ubuntu). The CCSM- > Window Decoration screen does not have an option for changing titlebar opacity or colour. The Emerald Theme Manager doesn't seem to be able to change

Hi, We're planning to use Protocol Buffers (Google's data interchange format: http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/ ) in a future version of Compiz and libcompizconfig to speed up metadata parsing, which currently makes up more than 75% of the start-up time for Compiz according to Valgrind. Preliminary work in this direction has shown promising results. We'll be adding

Compiz 0.9.2 is released! This is the second unstable release of the Compiz 0.9 series. This release represents an evolution of the 0.9 development series and brings a few minor new features and plenty of stability, speed and bugfixes. It should be ready for general usage. The Compiz 0.9.2 tarballs are available at http://releases.compiz.org/0.9.2/ . You can verify these tarballs using the

Dominique, cc: compiz, Dominique, you wanted the feedback, and List, I need your help. I have installed and fully configured (kicked the tires) on compiz 8.6 on openSuSE 11.0 and on balance it is great. There are a few weird things going on. Most notably, the number of options in ccsm that now uncheck themselves. In the past (compiz 0.5.6 - 0.8.2) there may have been one or two that would stick

Compiz: A colleague tempted me with compiz eye candy, and I tried it. Sorry, but many features were too far outside my usability comfort zone: - lazy mouse (in /this/ day and age???) - The Run window did not reliably pop up - minimize-all-windows turned everything black Some of those items were configurable. Some required multiple, diverse reconfigurations to fix. I couldn't fix the

No matter what I do, I'm not able to get window borders working. Both commands "emerald --replace" and "gtk-window-decorator --replace" runs fine, with no output, but no window borders are drawn. I've tried with and without: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" ..defined in the Screen section of xorg.conf, but with no difference. To my

Hi, how can I enable a plugin from the command line? I know how to *activate* it from dbus, i.e. do the equivalent of pressing "Ctrl-F9" or whatever the hotkey is. But I don't know how to *enable* it, i.e. do the equivalent of clicking the "enabled" checkbox in compizconfig settings manager. Thanks! Carlo

Hi, I don't know if this is the proper forum to ask this kind of questions, so, if it is not, please point me to the proper mailing list if there is any ... So, after a lot of troubles and tribulations i got compiz to finally load and not crash my drivers, i'm using a Dell D610 laptop with an ATI mobility radeon X300. At first sight it seems that everything is working just ok, i get my

It's common knowledge that disabling desktop effects (or disabling compiz) helps game performance in wine. Somebody mentioned that the Unredirect Fullscreen Windows compiz option (see http://wiki.compiz.org/GeneralOptions ), settable via ccsm aka compizconfig-settings-manager fixes performance problems just as well as disabling compiz does. I hadn't heard of that before. I never run
