Hi Everyone, I'm going to make some big structural cleanups to core which is likely to affect everyone here, but I believe is for the better, so I am posting this mail now to get some feedback and make sure that we don't tread on anyone's toes when I merge all of this stuff. 1st Change: Decorators are going in their own repo ========================================= The decorators

The window decoration system in compiz is implemented using a decoration plugin and a separate window decoration drawing application (a decorator). The decorator is drawing window decorations to minimal sized pixmaps. These pixmaps along with sets of coordinates which maps the pixmaps to windows are communicated back to the decorator plugin through a property on the client window. The coordinates

I forgot to give everyone an update on this. The blur plugin is in a reasonable state now. It requires an OpenGL implementation with an accelerated CopyTexSubImage2D path for usable performance and that's likely not going to change sometime soon. One major performance improvement can still be made, which allow us to avoid the CopyTexSubImage2D path whenever the area behind a blurred region is

I'd like to get all of you updated on the compiz related things discussed at the X developer conference that was held last week. The slides I used for my talk are available from here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~davidr/xdevconf07/ and you can also find some notes from all talks here: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/XDC2007Notes My talk was mainly focused on "what's next" and how

A patch was submitted to the ML a while ago that cured the problem with white boarders in Gtk-Window-Decorator. Can this patch be commited or be a at least fixed up to work with AIGLX? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I just realized this message went to the wrong place. I meant to send this to the list. Also, I want to clarify, I don't intend to offend or upset anyone, obviously I love the work that is happening on compiz, I am merely trying to help.

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

Changes since 0.3.2: * Core Support for multiple desktops (workspaces). Much better multi-head support. The workarea is calculated per output and windows are now maximized properly. Edge button option has been added to action options. It can be used to require a button press for edge actions to be triggered. Basic support from internal

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

Greetings everybody! I just git pull'ed compiz and after compiling and installing it, I started experiencing the decorations flashing and windows not being updated correctly. Sofar I was not able to revert to a state identifying which commit introduced this flaw. This is happening to me on an i915 and a GeForce7900GT. Using git revert <some commit> is the right way to work oneself

I just pushed some code into the compiz repository for initial metacity theme support. It's not complete, left and right borders are not rendered correctly, button decorations doesn't always match event window locations, maximized and shaded windows are not rendered as when running metacity, button locations are not configurable as with metacity... but it still seem to look OK with most

Instead of use compiz windows manager, I want to use matchbox, but I want reuse compiz plugins, means I use matchbox + compiz as windows manager + 3D desktop effect solution, would you please give me some suggestion about my plan. What about the effort? Would you please give me some suggestion. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: David Reveman [mailto:davidr at novell.com] Sent:

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

1. The first thing I like to do is push out a 0.3.4 release. (This week) 2. Some important changes to how plugins do window animations needs to be done. There's currently one representation of each window and plugins do simple animations like move and scale by manipulating this window object. This can easily cause conflicts between plugins and a lot of care needs to be taken to make sure that
