compiz titlebar on slackware 14.0
Hello,
I installed compiz and emerald and I have a little problem... The window is stuck on the top left corner without a titlebar. How can we fix this? I run slackware 14.0. Compiz works fine, the rotating cube works. Its really just the windows with the titlebar. I use xfce and have the same problem with kde. Waiting for a reply, thanks, Dumdadum |
Your compiz settings may need to be checked. You need window decorations set.
If they are good, then try Code:
emerald --replace & |

I also have another problem. When I load up xfce with startx, the mouse isnt visible. Anybody knows how to fix that too? Thanks, Dumdadum |
Hi,
You have to enable 3 options in ccsm after the installation of commpiz as explained in SBo : http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/1...E.POST_INSTALL Please check if you've done this. It might be what you've missed. For "neat" and tearing free compositing in Xfce, I advice you to try out "compton". It's a compositor that has fade in/out effets as well as shadows effets in your windows. http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/commen...ompositing_in/ And a config file is available here : http://duncanlock.net/blog/2013/06/0...iting-in-xfce/ I'm using this instead of compiz, because Compiz is cool but not maintained anymore. Slackware has all the required dependencies for compton except libconfig. But there's Slackbuilds for both libconfig and compton on github. Hope it helps. :) |

Do you think I need any video driver or something like that? Cheers, Dumdadum |

You can try using the gtk-window-docorator, type gtk-window-decorator. If it works it will help us nail down what the problem could be. also you can move a window with compiz by hold down ALT and your left mouse button if its stuck in the corner.

Also, you have to install the gtk engine that your theme of choice requires (if any). |

I've seen the commit in the github repos. Since I'm a -current user, I think it's just a matter of time before Pat ships it. Of course building it is an option too. I just lost hope in a bug fix for that since this bug was well known and never got really fixed. In previous versions of xfwm4 you were able to enable the vsync option manually with the settings editor of Xfce. But I had no joy on my laptop. I guess I will give it a run on another box because I like compton and I don't plan to get rid of it now. |
