After several weeks of discussion the leaders of Compiz and Beryl have agreed that the two communities shall reunite. This decision is supported by both David and Quinn and represents the majority decision of the administrators and developers in each community. At this early stage not a lot has been decided, but these are the main points of the agreement: - As had previously been decided,

Hello, I'm new to compiz and to this list but I'd like to contribute. I couldn't find a more appropriate place to ask a few questions about the compiz project (which is actually my first question). 1. Since the apparent compiz/beryl fork I don't see a compiz "community" site. Is there one? 2. Is compiz going to continue to be developed, and if so, is there a road

Our previous attempts to select a project name for CompComm have not gone well. We tried a poll but the names in the poll were not pre-qualified to determine if they were usable and the ?winning? name was also a strongly disliked name. Kristian and I each proposed a plan to select a name, but that effort got sidetracked by a massive flame war on the mailing list. While our community has some

Greetings everyone! During the 5 months since Compiz was released lots of work has been done outside of the official team by the new Compiz community in order to improve Compiz's features and usability. These unofficial developers are mainly using the compiz.net boards, #xgl or #compiz-dev IRC channels on Freenode to get in touch, discuss ideas, features, patches and bugs... Most patches

hi, a small patch inspired from Kristian H?gsberg compiz-aiglx patch, to use compiz with xorg aiglx with tftp_damage patch and gl-include-inferior patch. this patch add command-line option to force bind and release whenever the texture is used. to use it you must start xorg in 16 depth mode, and start compiz with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT environnement variable PS : sorry for my bad english

Hi, Suppose I have a compiz key-binding (let's say Ctrl and +) that performs a particular action (let's say maximization) and the current active application (say xterm) also does something with the same key-binding (zoom in xterm) - compiz handles the event and does not pass it on to the application. Is this desired behavior? Is the behavior configurable? Shouldn't compiz handle it

Greetings everyone, Here are the minutes of the very first Compiz Conference Call, which took place today 2009-01-21. This was a combined IRC & phone meeting, huge thanks to Novell and Michael Meeks for setting up the conference call. The next Conference Call will take place on 2009-01-28. Feel free to comment these minutes and ask questions to be sorted out during the next meeting.

This was a private mail and not supposed to go to the compiz list. Please don't don't read it unless you're on the compiz admin list. :) I've apologized to Jeff, Mike, Rico and Arturo for making this mistake and I'd like to apologize to anyone else who might have been offended by it. I guess the good part is that you get an uncensored view of what we feel about the community

Hey All, First off, congratulations to David and the others who worked on the 0.3.4 release and Happy Thanksgiving! There's been some discussion in the forum on the design and functionality of the compiz website and I'd like to get the opinion of David and any others who have an interest in this topic. My first question is to David. You indicated that you were interested in having

The place plugin has a bug: when compiz is restarted or started to replace another wm it the windows are placed in weird positions ( titlebar behind the panel etc.) shouln't the place plugin loop over all open windows and place them correctly when loaded? this should solve this issues. any reason why this isn't done? have I missed something or is this just a bug?

The dependency checking currently provided is clearly not good enough. There's currently two issues with the plugins that exist in the compiz repository. plane plugin conflicts with cube and rotate plugin, zoom plugin should probably work with either cube or plane but currently only loads when cube plugin is used. Adding a { CompPluginRuleBefore, "cube" } to the plane plugin and a

The Compiz 0.8.0 release will be the first release to include what was formerly known as Compiz Fusion. A complete feature and string freeze for Compiz 0.8 is in effect from Friday 5th of February, 23:59 GMT. I urge anyone with patches to submit them ASAP, regardless of their state. During most of Saturday, possibly spilling into Sunday, Compiz 0.8 will be branched and made ready for release.

Compiz and Beryl merge: What's really going on? Recently Quinns post to the beryl-dev mailing list entitled 'Merge on' has led to a lot of discussion, some of which has been good and some of which has led to a lot of misinformation, to clear things up I'd like to give the story of the merge, and the justification for some of the more peculiar aspects. Basically lets try to avoid

Greetings ! Here are the minutes of today's Compiz Conference Call. The next one will take place next week, time and date aren't frozen yet, we'll keep you up to date about this. Feel free to comment and stack new questions for next week. Regards, Guillaume ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conference Call 2009-01-28 Discussing the

Our discussion and editing period has come to and end and it's time to vote! You can find the poll here: http://forum.go-compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=286 Please read the whole post as the selection procedure is outlined below the poll. May the best graphic win!

I've seen that a lot of inaccurate and faulty information about this. All technical reasons (alternative configuration system, alternative decorator, xinerama...) for this fork are incorrect and I know that at least Quinn Storm is aware of this, based on a phone conversation we had last week. I've designed compiz to be extremely extensible. The plugin system should allow people to do

Beryl has a --skip-gl-yield ( I think now managed by --force-nvidia, dont really know though), that eases the use of beryl under heavy CPU load. Is this implemented in compiz? Cause compiz is _REALLY_ slow under heavy cpu use for me. Thanks, Joel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Greetings everybody! I was asked by someone (from the beryl-forum) if/how one could alter the values for the two color-stops used by the fallback-gradient of the skydome (for the case the supplied image could not be found). Up to now they were hardcoded, but with this patch they can be set via... /apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/skydome_gradient_start_color

I see many people hate Compiz (and use Beryl) just because it needs gconf + many other GNOME deps. I think this is the biggest advantage of Beryl over Compiz. Yes, users don't have to compile compiz with gconf, but how will they configure things? They'll modify the sources? Compiz needs a new configuration plugin. A text-based one, independent of tons of libraries would be great.

** *Purpose* We were missing a plugin that could just exchange properties. Sometimes you just need to minimize a window and "unminimize" other. To do it, you would need to perform 2 or more clicks. So, we created Swap! [image: :)] *Description* It allows you to swap the geometry of two windows. Basically we changed Static Switcher plugin to swap active window with another window.
