Hi, With some help from Quinn_Storm, iXce, maniac103, mikedee and KristianLy :), I've managed to modify switcher.c and make a new plugin: thumbnail. The plugin shows thumbnails of windows when cursor is moved over a task button in taskbar. Screenshot: http://pix.nofrag.com/b0/7a/051d45e25bfffed09eeb9b00e383.jpeg Download:

I have gone ahead and implemented the unfold distance option as mentioned in the source. the patch is here http://home.comcast.net/~moppsy/compiz/cube-unfold-distance.patch

I have written an initial flat file configuration backend for Compiz. At the moment it is using FAM for monitoring of files (it can be compiled without monitoring support for now). It is working fine but there are a couple of problems. 1. It looks like I should use addFileWatch rather than directly accessing FAM, is this correct? I notice dbus uses addFileWatch rather than

First, I would like to compliment you all for a great work you put in developing compiz. I have it running for more that a month and it did not crash. Stability is very good. Great work! Today I updated compiz from git tree and found that rotate generates this error: compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't activate plugin 'rotate' Rotate does not function. Any ideas ? I run gconf

Here is my python loader plugin which loads plain python scripts as full plugins. There is not much documentation, but I have included a few examples to get you going. triangle - Just a basic plugin which shows a triangle on a button press. This shows using ctypes to pass values from compiz to the python opengl bindings. basiczoom - Zooms in on the screen (basically) inactive - This is a port

I've created some basic plugin templates, which people can use to get a quick start at writing compiz plugins. The plugins them self don't contain much more than some basic initialization code but there's a simple makefile example and a slightly more complex autotools example which are useful. If someone got improvements to these templates or some more complex examples they think

I have downloaded compiz-0.2.0 and tried to compile it. The INSTALL file talks about autgen.sh, but I am unable to locate it. I tried ./configure but it complains about a number of missing packages. Is there any docs on how to compile compiz on SLED 10 ? I have searched in a lot of places, but have not been able to dig up anything. A detailed list of what packages is required (and where to locate

hi, I saw that Mike Dransfield tried to port 'state' plugin from beryl. What does it do? It should be able to place windows, based on name, class etc., to specific viewports. I recently converted to compiz window manager from WindowMaker (used it for 8 years), and I miss automatic 'pinning' of specific windows to particular workspace (or viewport in this case). Mike's

Hi, I have a question regarding screengrabs: At the moment, a lot of interaction between the plugins is done by checking for screen grabs of other plugins with the function otherScreenGrabExist. But pushing a screen grab means grabbing keyboard and mouse pointer, so no user interaction with the desktop is possible. However, some plugins (such as showdesktop) need user interaction with the

Hey everyone, I like to get the AUTHORS file updated before the next release. I suggest that we add the name and email of anyone who contributed some piece of code to compiz. For people who have contributed such a significant piece of code that it can be considered an algorithm or some functionality (e.g. Mirco's sky dome support in the cube plugin or S?ren's plane plugin), that should

Hi folks, For ubuntu specs and for a better desktop integration of compiz, I made some patchs and plugins. Focus prevention is now in main stream, and really better can i made :) First the workspace and terminal keybinding patch. Since my last email I updated the patch. http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu/compiz-patch/91-workspaces-terminal-keybindings.patch It adds the support for vertical

Linked is a version of the Beryl resize plugin which I have modified to work with Compiz. It seems to work better and has a few more options to help speed up things (the outline mode is good). http://www.anykeysoftware.co.uk/compiz/plugins/resize/resize.c Could you have a quick look at the code to see if it would be worthwhile preparing a diff? There are quite a few changes plus a lot of

Hi, is anybody already working on porting the extra plugins (those ported over from beryl) to compiz 0.5.0? I'm especially thinking about the animation plugin. Or is this something to be addressed post-unification? CU all Matthias -- Matthias Hopf <mhopf@suse.de> __ __ __ Maxfeldstr. 5 / 90409 Nuernberg (_ | | (_ |__ mat@mshopf.de Phone

Running compiz without a desktop window has some unexpected behavior. It is not possible to grab the cube with the mouse. The pointer needs to be over a window for it to work. In display.c the XSelectInput call in addDisplay is missing ButtonPressMask and ButtonReleaseMask, so it makes sense why this doesn't work. Is there a reason why they have been left out? Lower window with Button2 on

Listmates, I installed 8.2 on opensuse 10.3 from the opensuse XGL repository to replace 7.6. Compiz works with the nvidia 8600 GT card (512M of GDDR3) on the box, but the ctrl+alt <- -> switching behavior is really bad. In 7.6, the ctrl+alt <- -> desktop switching changed desktops crisply with just the slightest hint of the cube detected during the very short and nice switch.

With raise_on_click disabled, I wanted to be able to raise a window with a button click sometimes. It seemed logical to do something like the lower window key binding. So I did it. It was quite simple, but here is the patch anyway. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The coding style I use for compiz is very similar to what's used in the xserver. This was the best I could get out of GNU indent. indent -psl -saf -sai -saw -sob -i4 -bbo -bls -lp -di1 -pcs -bs -cs -bl -bli0 -cdb -sc -bad -bap -l78 The style in compiz is slightly different though. Function parameters are aligned and I usually align function parameter names and variable names too. I also

Attached is a quick patch which adds a logging framework to compiz. I think it should be fairly self explanitory. I think it should allow plugin writers to extend it for any purpose, but I would appreciate any feedback or comments before going any further.

The git hosting I promised is finally set up. Sorry that this took forever to get ready. If you want a repository on git.compiz.org, send an email to me and explain with a few words why you want it. If you have some code, attach it or include an URL to where it can be found. Include a list of initial user names and passwords that should be given write access to the repository. The requirements

gconf places no restrictions on setting string values. compiz does not seem to validate binding strings and I have noticed that it can cause quirky behavior. The exact situation that brought this to my attention was setting opacity_increase and opacity_decrease to empty string values. After initiating switcher with Alt-Tab, while keeping Alt pressed, pressing shift changes the active windows
