Compiz + OOo Impress

willysr · 03-17-2008, 07:31 AM

Hello,

I have been running -Current and so far so good. The problem arose when i started to enable Compiz on my laptop (previously, i had installed compiz, but i never activated it). Now, when i used OOo Impress to show the presentation on full screen, my KDE's taskbar is not behind the presentation slides anymore. This is not the default behavior before i enabled Compiz.

Anybody has experienced similar problems?

Any suggestion ?

Thanks

That is the way it works on my system as well. I went into Control Center --> Desktop --> Panels and on the Hiding tab, set the hide time for the taskbar to 3 sec. It disappears, and is not seen unless you run the mouse over the taskbar area.

If it matters, I'm running KDE 3.5.9 on Mandriva 2008.

actually, i have thought about this possibility also, but i would use it as the last options

I kinda dislike the auto-hide features

You can always disable Compiz when starting presentations, I guess...(I wish I had better advice for you -- Compiz pissed me off too much so I no longer use it, although it does have some nice features). To stop Compiz, type `kwin --replace` in a terminal window. Then when done presenting, start Compiz up again like you did the first time. Good luck and sorry for the crappy advice.

I finally use camorri's advice to use the auto-hide feature in KDE's taskbar. Now the full screen is working perfectly. Even though i dislike this feature, i think it's the best solution for now.

T3slider: thanks for the tips. I always wanted to know how to restore the window decoration back to KDE's default. You have gave the solution

In the past, i tried `kde-window-decorator --replace`, but it didn't worked out. Now i realize that i'm wrong
