Greetings everybody! I started looking more thoroughly at gnome-window-decorator.c and now my head spins and "hurts" and believe that I'm not going to achieve anything serious in terms of tweakable shadows anytime soon. It's far more difficult than I expected. While I (believe) to understand now the shadows are drawn, I currently don't get why there are 12 shadow-quads and

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

Hi, I've currently pushed a new branch called "compiz++" to the freedesktop repository, with some features I've been working on during last months. Because most of the features also require (BIG) changes to the plugins, I've decided to put them all together. - No direct access to member variables: Everything is now done with getter and setter functions. This helps with

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 have added compiz support to aquamarine. You can download it directly from beryl svn: svn co svn://svn.beryl-project.org/beryl/trunk/aquamarine/ To install: ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-debug=full ./make ./sudo make install You can use kcontrol to set the decoration and decoration specific settings. You can post bugs to the beryl bugtracker at http://bugs.beryl-project.org . Please

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, 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.

hi, I made a small a patch for gtk-window-decorator which define default border alpha to zero when it use metacity theme. That allows while playing with the alpha attributes of the metacity themes to have transparent borders. here too the modified ?Human Ubuntu? theme and a screenshot to show the result. ps: sorry for my bad english -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment

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

Hello there everybody! Terrific... a mailing-list for compiz with David on board! Ok, I started off with writing some functions using cairo to draw me the needed elements for drop-shadows (atm stand-alone to focus on the proper generation of the shadow-parts) and currently still fiddle with the tweakable parameters. Right now I have... shadow-radius (e.g. 20 pixels) 2D-offset vector (e.g. 10

Hi, I've been following the list for a few months but this just my first post to the list. I've just started to use compiz again a few days ago and I have a few things (probably bugs) here that bugged me a little bit. I am not sure whether the bugs is in compiz or somewhere else so it would be nice if someone could confirm them. Here they are: - on default window decoration the maximize

Hi, I tried to run compiz on an intel i810 device (aiglx). According to the docs, I should: # LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=TRUE compiz --replace --loose-binding gconf GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is available with direct rendering. gtk-window-decorator: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0" And 1. I get no window decorations at all 2. gtk-window-decorator

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

I've added a working KDE window decorator (kwd) to head. It's pretty much written from scratch however it borrows some trivial code from aquamarine which I didn't feel re-implementing. So why did I write a new one from scratch instead of improving aquamarine? I started out by trying to improve aquamarine but as I looked at the code and figured out what had to change to make it work

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

I played a little bit yesterday with adding metacity theme support to gwd and it looks like it's not going to be very hard. Hopefully I'll have it working in the next couple of days. What I've done is to rip out all the parts of the metacity code that is required for theme support (boxes.c, gradient.c, theme-parser.c, theme.c, util.c). Ideal would be if we could put this part of

Im trying to write a Windowmaker look-a-like decorator to compiz, tho, im not really sure im doing it the right way, The way im doing it right now is telling libdecorator that i?m interested in becoming the "manager" of the current screen. Then i select the StructureNotify events on the root window and try to snoop out when a new window is created and mapped, and then reparent it onto my

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:

You might have hear this before. I just came across it today. from http://blog.beryl-project.org/ "I am running your svn and have noticed this non-tfp Beryl, what is this? It is exactly what it sounds like, an early attempt (with some success I might add) to make Beryl run without the need for texture_from_pixmap. No more black window bug from nvidia, no more Xgl, no more AIGLX. Oh
