Compiz 0.9 series package available

[trzalica]

Yes it always pops back up after hitting apply, it's meant to so you can flick between different themes without having to reopen it each time, you just click close when you're done.

Are you saying that it is not working? That it is now applying the theme?
Please explain the issues concisely.

I chose one of installed Metacity themes and nothing happens (there still no gtk-window-decorator) and it asks me again to choose Metacity theme like I didn't already choose and clicked Apply button. It's not working as it should

So you're saying the GTK window decorator is not working.

Please open CCSM and goto the Window Decoration plugin, check it's enabled and confirm the "Command" is set to 'gtk-window-decorator'.

Please run compiz in a terminal:

Code: [Select]

compiz --replaceand see if there's any relevant messages.

I can't enter CCSM through Settings menu (like from screenshot) so I entered CCSM through terminal and yes, Window Decoration plugin is enabled and yes, "Command" is set to 'gtk-window-decorator'.
So I did as you say and start Compiz from terminal and this is result:

Code: [Select]

What happens if you select the plain "Adwaita" decoration? Doesn't work?

Also if you can swap to Unstable branch, update and try the binary package from there, would be great.

[trzalica]

Do you experience the same if you use the compiz-manjaro package from the repos?
(meaning the new 0.9.12 package in Unstable branch)

I haven't try that yet. I'll try that now and tell you the result (but I will install 0.9.12 from AUR)

Edit: 0.9.12 is building right now from AUR

[Rob]

(but I will install 0.9.12 from AUR)

I kinda want you to use the binary package, not build it yourself. Your issue could somehow be related to your local build.

[trzalica]

But how much dangerous is it to switch to unstable branch? And can I go back to stable?

[Rob]

You can goto Unstable, update, then switch back to Stable and you will just get some messages about having newer local packages for a while.

I would like to try this package that I'm building right now and then if that doesn't work I will try the package from unstable branch. It would help me big time if you could stay here for about 15-20 minutes till I do this and I will tell you results right away.

No probs. Should be up for at least another hour.

Ok then! Thanks!

[trzalica]

Again, same situation with Metacity theme and gtk window decorater... I will now go and try unstable package

Also, try opening the GWD theme selector, apply Adwaita as the decoration, then log out and back in.

[Jeannie]

No, the nVidia employee who wrote it only did it for 0.9.

Great.

Where can I  request/propose a fix for 0.8?
