Hi, With latest compiz updates i can't get gtk-window-decorator working. I add gwd gconf keys I saw in list archives : http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2006-October/000627.html No success. I use this script to start compiz : killall gtk-window-decorator gtk-window-decorator & export __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"; compiz --replace --use-cow gconf & Compiz load but

Hi, this email is basically the result of a small discussion which made me think what the real end-goal of my work on Emerald-2 would be. Since Emerald has already a extensible system (Engines) I thought about giving the engines wider access, so that they are more like plugins. However the first thing needed is a nice plugin API. The base for that is the new settings backend of Emerald-2.

Recently, I brought up a topic about white boarders being drawn instead of shadows in Gnome-Window-Decorator. A patch was made up by gandalfn to correct this by making 32 pixel shadows 33 pixels, however the patch was not committed because it was a workaround. This is a huge functional annoyance to us intel users and needs to be cured. There are two soultions I can think of: 1 Get in contact

Hi, I have a strange problem with gtk-window-decorator. I've tried 0.3.6 & the latest from git, but with either I don't get any window borders when running gwd. I hope its not something simple I've missed but I've searched around and not found anything. gwd never segfaults or even displays any warnings or anything for that matter. It just doesn't draw the borders. I've

Beryl has this mask called PAINT_WINDOW_DECORATION_MASK that the decoration plugin sets when it's drawing the decorator windows. It lets you apply an effect to a window that doesn't affect the decorations. Does this sound like something that would be useful in compiz? -- Travis Watkins http://www.realistanew.com

Hi, I posted this on the forum as well, but there were no responses to it. I now posting it here just in case anybody cares. Anyway, Compiz is a very nice program. Thanks for all the effort you put into making it. I am using the latest git version of compiz and it really works great for being an "unstable" version. Anyway, I noticed the following strange behavior and was wondering

Hi I just tried out the new 0.1.0 release of beryl. Generally I do like the compiz fdo version, because I like the gconf integration and the metacity theme support in gwd. Also I think their configuration system is a complete mess, this beryl settings manager is completly bloated in my opinion. Anyway, I noticed they have quite a lot of plugins. While I found most of them nothing special, the

Since I first tried nVidia's AIGLX with Compiz I've been seeing some pretty consistent drawing problems on GWD's minimize and maximize buttons on hover. It looks like part of the fill is drawn with low alpha. I haven't been able to duplicate it when using Xgl... Here's a quick vid of what I'm seeing:

I just installed Compiz on Ubuntu Feisty (Gutsy does not work on my hardware as per the release notes) via the http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu repo, which is the repo suggested in the compiz-fusion website. The machine is a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with the horrible ATI X1400 graphics card and 1680x1050 monitor. I installed XGL and the proprietary ATI driver, a combination that worked

Hi, There is a strange bug in gwd. When using compiz, after some time all window decorations become non-responsive. All buttons on the decoration become non-clickable and I can't move any window. Also the decoration color stays in an unfocused state, but I can focus all windows. After that point if i open new windows, they have a decoration bar, but no buttons, icon or title. I've no idea

Hi, Recently i have worked on re-writing beryl's transparent cube, and ported 3d plugin to compiz. I'm attaching a patchset here that includes the transparent cube patches (i'll post the 3d plugin when i fix some problems that didn't happen in beryl). Patching order: btf-ftb.patch, clip-planes.patch, plugin-events.patch, cube-paint-order.patch, transparent-cube.patch. Special

Adding new options to a plugin is a pain. There is a lot of code that has allways to be changed for that. This is the reason why I've created the Beryl/Compiz XML options parser (bcop). Bcop allows you easily to describe options in XML and will autogenerate the needed Beryl/Compiz C code for you. The only think that needs to be changed in a existing plugins is to include the xxx_options.h

On kde, gtk-window-decorator segfault everytime a minimised "Konqueror download window" close it self... Running with --sync fix the problem so no way to have a backtrace :( Cedric

Hello, this patch adds support for real transparency to kdesktop. It adds two new composite manager related features. To activate the features kdesktop has to be started with the "--bg-transparency" option. The first one allows you to change the opacity of the background image. This works currently with the beryl transparent cube and will also work with compiz once the transparent

Is there a way to get a public commit mailing list for compiz? Dennis Kasprzyk

Guys, SuSE 10.3, compiz-fusion-kde-0.6.2-3.1, fglrxG01-8.43.3-0.1, xorg 7.2. I just experienced a complete window decoration crash where all window decorations disappeared. kwin --replace followed by a emerald --replace cured the problem. This is the first crash since installing 6.2-3.1 about 12 hours ago. Is there anything helpful I can post that might identify the cause of the problem? --

I just did another compiz checkout and installed but now compiz won't work I'm starting compiz like this: gtk-window-decorator --replace & export __GL_YIELD="NOTHING"; compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --strict-binding --use-cow gconf move resize minimize place decoration cube rotate scale switcher zoom fade screenshot dbus This was working earlier but not anymore. Now

Devs, compiz listmates: Why can't I turn off compiz autostart on openSuSE 10.3 i386? Compiz just decided to start automatically with KDE login ever since I upgraded to the first 0.7.4.x release from the openSuSE build service. I have tried to disable it by creating the file "disable-compiz" in ~/.config/compiz but compiz still starts at login. Even if I switch to kwin before

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

I pushed out some changes to gwd that makes it possible to properly set an overall opacity value for any metacity theme. Making the complete decorations translucent can look bad with some themes. However, I've made it possible to have the opacity fade from opaque to the selected opacity value in a similar way to how the built-in decorations look. This usually looks a lot better. I'll add
