[SOLVED]lost window decorations in xfce4

i'm running arch on an acer aspire one netbook, i tried out compiz to see how it would run, then disabled it because it's too sluggish. in doing so i have lost all window decorations in xfce4. kdemod still has it's decorations and is working fine, it's just xfce that's the problem.
how do i bring back window decorations?

Did you try deleting the session and restarting xfce?
(If I remember right those were in "~/.cache/sessions/", but better check google )

  • [SOLVED] Compiz Window Decorator Not Working

    Hi,
    I had compiz configured from an ubuntu install. I reset the config and even reinstalled and disabled gconf, enabling all required options.
    and the problem
    whenever I start it, it does not have a window decorator/border and I cannot move the windows, despite setting it up properly and trying emerald and gtk window decorator and starting them manually.
    what am I doing wrong

  • XFCE4 + AIGLX + Compiz/Beryl [no windows decorator]

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie in archlinux and xfce, so probably this is a newbish question.
    I run AIGLX over a ati with radeon opensource drivers in xfce4.
    It runs well , I activated composite on xfce and see semi-transparents panel and so on.
    Today I'm trying to install and run compiz or beryl but without success.
    I installed compiz-core, beryl-core, emerald, something else.
    try to run compiz with replace but no windows borders appear (even if when I try Alt+Tab there is the typical compiz effect ).
    So I decided to switch beryl... Try to run beryl-manager and change in beryl or compiz but without success.
    I don't see windows border s:\.
    I checked the default depth is 24, i tried to put:
    beryl-manager &
    emerald & 
    startxfce4
    in .xinitrc but the windows decorator doesn't appear.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advice for the replys.

    Okay I solved it.
    This is a simple mini guide to installa compiz on xfce4 with ati open source drivers:
    1) install ati open source drivers (look the wiki)
    2) in xorg.conf (I have a ati radeon 9000pro):
    Section "ServerLayout"
            Option         "AIGLX" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
            Identifier "ATI"                     # your alias
        Driver "radeon"
        Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" #needed for aiglx
            Option "AGPMode" "4"
            Option "DRI"     "true"
            #Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
            #Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"
    EndSection
    Section "DRI"
            Group        0 #"video"
        Mode 0666
    EndSection
    Section "Extensions"
           Option      "Composite"   "Enable"
    EndSection
    3) in order to run compiz you must NOT enable the compositor options in Window Manager Tweaks.
    4) Install compiz-git for example using (pacman.conf):
    [compiz-fusion]
    Server = http://arch.nesl247.org/compiz-fusion/i686
    4.1) install fusion-icon #simple systray icon .
    5) Open terminal and run fusion-icon. Change (Select Window Manager) to compiz.
    6) Enjoy your archlinux-box .
    Buon divertimento!

  • Xfce4-svn default theme - What's that window decoration?!

    I installed xfce4-svn (and xfce4-svn-extra) the other day, and i would just fell in love with the default gray window decorations!  They are so clean and beautiful. I want to dress my new shiny gnome 2.16 desktop with it...
    So... can anyone tell me what the decorations is called, and is there a gnome eqvivalent?

  • [SOLVED] Fresh Install - LXDE - Missing Window Decorations

    Hi folks,
    I just did a fresh install on my netbook (Asus 1000h) which went flawless as allways. I did install Xorg, the relevant intel drivers, some small stuff like screen and the like and then went on to install LXDE as the desktop environment + the murrine gtk engine and some murrine themes. Everything is working, the murrine theme etc, except one thing: The window decorations are missing completely.
    This is the first time sth. like that happened to me after a fresh install and I'm not really sure what could be missing and 3 hours after trying to delete my ~/.config ~./local folders (I'm using a backup of my ~ - I've checked permissions etc.) I'm ranning out of ideas. I'd be glad for any pointers as to how to debug this or what could possibly cause this.
    Thanks in advance.

    LXDE does not provide a window manager (and window decorator). They just strongly advise to use OpenBox. On ArchLinux, the group of packages "lxde" doesn't install OpenBox, so you have to install it by yourself, or install another WM. Then, you will need to configure the way you launch X so OpenBox is used.
    You may refer to http://lxde.org/lxde .

  • [SOLVED]Emerald/compiz draws window decoration around conky...

    Hi! I've recently installed conky for the first time ever and wish to use it as a simple clock. I have edited the .conkyrc to achieve this, however when I start conky, compiz draws the emerald theme around my conky clock.
    Having looked around the web, a common suggestion seems to be to add:
    !(name=conky)
    To my Window Decoration Window Matching config (it's usually set to "Any") in order to exclude conky from having window decorations drawn. Unfortuntely, this doesn't work.
    Another suggestion was to add "-conky" to "Any", giving me:
    any -conky
    However, this removes window decorations from ALL windows.
    Here is my conky config:

  • [SOLVED] Buttons are missing in the titlebar with gtk-window-decorator

    Hi, everyone.
    Recently, I'd tried compiz as WM with gnome 3 in fallback mode. All work quiet good, but there is one thing, that slightly discourages me. I use gtk-window-decorator for frames and titlebar and the results are strange. Title bar is drawn with squared left and rounded right corners. Moreover, no buttons are shown on it. "Menu" and "Minimize" buttons are here, but invisible (they are working and corresponding tooltips are shown when I hover mouse over their position); "Maximize" and "Close" buttons are absent. All this buttons are turned on in metacity properties.
    When I turn off metacity theme support for gtk-window-decorator, all buttons are here, but decorator in this mode is quiet dumb...
    So, have you any suggestions on how to get those buttons back?

    I'm having this problem under Ubuntu, but not with my Compiz (also 0.9.4) setup with GNOME 3 on Arch. I switched to Emerald on my Ubuntu install as a temporary workaround.
    Thinking about it, I think I still had the gnome-desktop2 package installed when I built compiz-core, I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Optional GNOME support is omitted in compiz-core if you upgraded to GNOME 3, because gnome-window-settings-2.0 (from the GNOME 2 gnome-control-center package I think) and gnome-desktop-2.0 are absent.

  • [SOLVED] GTK2/QT window decorations broken on maximize in GNOME 3.12.2

    When maximizing non-GTK3 (GTK2/QT4) applications in GNOME 3.12.2, the window decorations are not properly displayed. This happens regardless when maximizing via the shortcuts, dragging the window, or double-clicking the title bar. Here is one particularly bad example:
    http://i.imgur.com/NhUQ1bU.png
    Hovering the mouse over the missing areas, or focusing a different window restores the decorations. Google or the GNOME Bugzilla didn't bring further clues, but I didn't have this problem in GNOME 3.10 (or FWIW, Cinnamon 2.2).

  • [SOLVED] compiz wont use gtk-window-decorator with xfce

    for the life of me i cant get ccsm to keep "gtk-window-decorator --replace" to stick in the Command line of the Window Decoration plugin section. it keeps switching to "emerald --replace"
    is it because im using xfce and not gnome? xfce uses gtk right. anyone have this issue? its not that i dont mind emerald, just on some other distros ive used i can change it no problem, most of those were using gnome though so maybe thats it

I managed to successfully install and get running compiz-core-git, ccsm-git, compiz-plugins-extra-git, compiz-plugins-main-git, compizconfig-python-git, and libcompizconfig-git; all from the AUR. But when all was said and done, I was left without a window decorator. I wanted compiz-decorator-gtk, but I couldn't find it in the AUR and the one in the community repo wouldn't install due to not having compiz-core installed (I had compiz-core-git), which left me stuck going back to 0.8.8 for now.
    Had you enabled 'window decoration' in CCSM??? (4 compiz 0.9.x?) On install, it is probably not enabled (along with resizing, moving windows, etc). It also won't pick up your 0.8.8 settings - so you need to set up CCSM settings from scratch.. Also, Compiz should have built gtk-window-decorator when you compiled it. (which is why i believe that you didn't have CCSM comfigured correctly with your new version of compiz).
    as for the compiz packages in AUR, can't give you much advice there, as i build compiz myself, using Scott Moreau's build scripts;
    git clone git://anongit.compiz.org/users/soreau/scripts
    there are a few build scripts - for both 0.8.8 and 0.9.x - whichever ones end in '++' - are for building 0.9.x ... for both series, there are scripts to build all of the addons / plugins.
    building it yourself, may not be your ideal approach, so i would recommend trying the AUR pkgbuilds for compiz 0.9.x , but this time have a look in CCSM, after you install the new version and make sure that you have enabled all of the important stuff like move, resize, window decoration, etc.
    You also might want to read through compiz' Wiki, the trouble-shooting section covers your 'no-window-decoration' problem ~ as it is quite common.

  • [SOLVED] [Compiz] Gtk-Window-Decorator

    Hi guys, after spending the better part of one of my few free days configuring various apps and so on in compiz [I made a fresh arch install]. I finally got to setting my GTK theme away from the ugly defaults. I've installed the Orta theme for now at least, I'll probably change it once a week. The GTK theme sets perfectly fine, I used the gnome-tweak-tool for that, but the decorations(title bar) do not change, they remain the same default theme that gtk-window-decorator has. I have done extensive googling and have not found a solution yet, anyone have a fix?
    Last edited by Multimoon (2013-02-17 14:23:36)

    The old gtk-window-decorator (I'm assuming you installed the old stable version of compiz 0.8.x from the community repo) still requires certain gconf keys to be set.
    If you find setting the GTK theme (using gnome-tweak-tool) and the window decorations (using either gconf-editor or gconftool-2) independently somewhat annoying, you might want to try compiz-devel from the AUR. It's the same version of compiz used in Ubuntu 12.10 and it's stable (at least as far as I've tested, mentioning because the "-devel" suffix might make you think otherwise). The 0.9.x versions of compiz use gsettings instead of gconf, which means that both the GTK theme and the window decorations can be set/changed using gnome-tweak-tool (or dconf-editor or the gsettings utility).
    Also, some themes (the Gnome Cupertino theme for example, as well as Ubuntu's light themes) use some form of padding, shadows that the vanilla metacity (from Extra) does not allow, that might also cause gtk-window-decorator to fall back to its default theme. You can actually check whether the theme will be displayed or not in advance using the "metacity-theme-viewer Name_of_theme" command.
    I hope that helps, good luck!

  • [SOLVED] Alternatives to gtk-window-decorator and emerald?

    I want to setup compiz as a standalone window manager, but was pretty disappointed when I found out that gtk-window-decorator requires metacity and gnome-control-center (which brings in way too many gnome dependencies that I definitely don't want). From what I understand, emerald is unsupported and maybe a little more resource intensive than need be? Are there any alternatives for window decoration? All I need is something that can use GTK themes, nothing fancy. Thanks in advance!

    You should know that GTK does not deal with window themes. There is no 'standard', and you can use whatever floats your boat.
    Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully it'll work without problems. Thanks

  • [solved] maximizing window results in white screen

    hi, using xfce4 and gdm with nvidia driver (from Arch), 64 bit, using compiz
    while in the GUI if i maximize a window, say Thunderbird, the app only shows a white screen. the window decorations are still there and i can restore it down and everything is fine, but when i maximize, white screen
    not to post two problems in one thread, but im using emerald via compiz, but i would like to use gtk-window-decorator but if i change it, it does not stick. after a log out/log in it is changed back to emerald
    i have tried different emerald themes and i still get the white screen. i think it only happens when the window is opened small to begin with. if it opens full screen i dont have that problem

    i think i figured this out, i was using the latest nvidia driver when i should have been using the 173xx series

  • Gtk-window-decorator themes in XFCE/Compiz broken after recent upgrade

    I allowed my arch linux upgrades to slide for a while - probably nearly a month - and just did a system upgrade and reboot today. After rebooting, I am stuck with GTK's default Adwaita window borders, which use a lot of real estate, and GTK3 apps like nautilus have a solid black border around the windows.
    I have tried changing the theme with theme-switch2, I have rebooted a couple of times, replaced the window manager with xfwm4 and then gone back to gtk-window-decorator, all with no change. Other aspect of the theme - fonts and colors - work fine, but the window decorator theme just won't change.
    The following commands have no effect:
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme Numix
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme Numix
    Here is an example of the black box around nautilus.
    Possibly unrelated, but when I start gnome-tweak-tool, which allows me to change the theme, I get the following message:

    I am no expert in themes, so I am completely stumped by this whole problem. Any ideas anyone?

    MikeDacre, there is a known issue whereby a change in GTK 3.16 means that Compiz isn't getting the frame extents for CSD windows. It's being discussed in the following Compiz branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/compi … rge/250015
    I'm not entirely sure whether this is the relevant issue for you; my CSD windows don't have black borders but they do have a thin light grey border all the way around which negates the rounding of the top corners. You could try building Compiz from the branch I mentioned but just to warn you I've already tried and it didn't do anything for me. The bottom line is, the Compiz team need to fix Compiz for CSD and until they do, expect there to be problems.

  • Compiz, GTK window decorator not getting along with metacity

    Hello,
    Today gtk-window-decorator managed to break on my machine, resulting in no window decorations. I'm using emerald as a temporary solution, but I'd prefer to go back to gtk-window-decorator if possible. When I start compiz, the following occurs:
    gtk-window-decorator: error while loading shared libraries: libmetacity-private.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I found some posts that suggested using metacity2 instead of metacity, but I'm using compiz-bzr from the AUR which lists metacity as a dependency which conflicts with metacity2. I tried downgrading metacity, but that didn't help. I'm not entirely sure where to go from here.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your help!
    Installing the stable version of compiz got gtk-window-decorator working again, but now I have no minimize or maximize buttons on any gtk theme (only a close button), and gtk-window-decorator throws me
    (gtk-window-decorator:23942): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type '(null)' in cast to 'WnckWindow'
    gtk-window-decorator: Ignoring unknown or already-used button name "appmenu"
    EDIT: This problem was solved by running
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "'menu:minimize,maximize,close'"
    for future reference to anyone who stumbles across this post. Thanks again for the help!
