Bluring transparant window decorations with smaragd?

Is there anyway to enable an active blur behind emerald window decorations with smaragd? With KDE native decorations there is the blur desktop effect which adds an active blur to transparent sections, but it seems that when using smaragd this does not apply. Is there a way to enable a blur though the emerald theme.ini file? thanks.

I am getting blur effect in Manjaro 0.8.9 for emerald themes.I installed it from AUR. But I am not getting the blur effect in Mint 16.

No window decoration with Compiz using gtk-window-decorator

Hello.
I know this is and old problem with Compiz and ArchLinux, but no matter what I do, I can't make it work.
This happens when I try to use Compiz:

Thank you for your time guys, I hope this information helps you to help me out.

That's not an option, I don't want to sacrifice video performance for a few effects.
Also, shouldn't be that way, why a distribution like ArchLinux, one of the best, has this kind of problems with Drivers.

[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.

Gtk-window-decorator with misplaced buttons

i upgrade to gnome 2.24 from testing and windows buttons disapear (compiz 0.7.8)
when i choose metacity wm, everything is ok.
is some bug in gtk-window-decorator vs. gnome 2.24 or in my settings (dev made some changes)?

Nobody has a solution for this or similar problems? It happened to me when I updated most of my Gnome packages to 2.24 from the testing repo a couple of days ago so it's a bit hard to say what's causing it
Here's what my windows look like:

Weird Square Corner Window Decorations with GTK+ 3.16

For some reason all GTK3 applications have weird square corners since I updated to GTK+ 3.16. Here is a screenshot of a music program I'm making exemplifying this problem: http://i.imgur.com/vMf3MUO.png
It happens with ALL GTK3 applications.
Here is my gtk.css in my ./config/gtk-3.0 folder of my home directory:
.window-frame
border-width: 5px;
box-shadow: none;
margin: 5;
Is there anything in that file I can change to fix this problem? I'm using Fluxbox with compton.

Even with the new completely updated Vertex theme downloaded from https://github.com/horst3180/Vertex-theme my title bars and gnome tweak tool are white and don't look anything like the screenshots of the creator. What are the potential causes of this? I have reinstalled all of gnome and everything but I just get back to the same appearance.

Gtk-window-decorator transparency / opacity

hi there,
since I replaced emerald with gtk-window-decorator, things work better now. But I have no clue, why I can't turn off the titlebar transparency for inactive windows. No transparency only works for focused windows, but not for unfocused. I already checked my Compiz settings for trailfocus, add helper, opacity, but they're all deactivated. Plus, I checked the Settings for gtk-window-decorator with gconf-editor: I changed /apps/gwd/metacity_theme_opacity to 1 (which should be the key), but it just doesn't help.
Any hints or ideas? Am I overlooking something?
Thanks!

How to configure gtk-window-decorator

I've always used emerald as a window decorator with compiz [standalone], however, the very latest dev version of compiz is no longer compatible and I haven't been able to find a fix.
Therefore, I've fallen back to gtk-window-decorator, but I haven't been able to find ANY information on how to customize it.
Is there a theme editor similar to emerald-theme-settings? Are there any built-in-themes? Or am I just stuck with the default ugly look?
Some places refer to gconf, and gconf-editor, however I sincerely have not been able to understand it, or how i'm suposed to use it.
There are no man entries for gtk-window-decorator, and I've found no configuration files anywhere.
Thanks for any hints.

Oh... When using one of groups of Compiz other than the -dev ones, you'll need to install the gtk-window-decorator gconf schemas after installing the core package.
export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --get-default-source; gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /usr/share/gconf/schemas/gwd.schemas
This will fix up the git package you created from mine and removed the above functionality from. I think it works for the other packages too, but I'm not entirely sure the schemas aren't installed to /opt along with everything else.

Compiz 0.9.x gtk-window-decorator theme

I was just wondering what the proper way is to get gtk-window-decorator to use metacity themes is these days.
The problem is that Compiz development is moving faster than its documentation does.
Back in the old days, we could launch gtk-window-decorator with the --metacity-theme flag, but that doesn't seem to be an option these days.

[Xfce] Window decorations and transparency

I am running compton and xfce with transparent window borders. The close, minimize, and maximize buttons are also transparent. Is there any way to make it so that they are not transparent? I assume that there must be some way because, in the xfce-panel at the top of my screen, the selected window is outlined in an entirely opaque button. See attached link for image. Also, please ignore the white boxes around the minimize, maximize, and close buttons...I am currently working on theming xfwm and they look kinda crappy :\

[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.

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!

New window manager (with prototype!) [wmii-like] --- looking for help

I have a prototype for a new window manager in the style of wmii. It is called
cakewm. I currently have a prototype version implemented in pygame, and would
like help moving this to use X---making it a real window manager.
Disclaimer: I have a very limited knowledge of X11 and window manager
development. The most I've done is add a couple new features to wmfs.
To get the code
> git clone git://github.com/saikobee/cakewm.git
Then run main.py. cakewm depends on pygame.
Upon running, press Alt-Enter to fullscreen cakewm and intercept keybinds, or
Alt-Space to just intercept keybinds. Press Alt-Esc to quit. The window
manager related keybinds are listed in the file binds.conf.
Config note: <WSCA-x> means Windows-Shift-Control-Alt-x
Implementation note: pypixel.py is a large and mostly useless dependency. I
forked a library I made previously rather than coding straight in pygame.
cakewm's goals are to be similar to wmii, but with more functionality, easier
configurability, and saner defaults.
- cakewm is fully functional using the keyboard. Mouse support can come later.
- cakewm provides 9 workspaces per monitor.
- cakewm manages each workspace as a group of columns. Each column is like a
wmii default split, except each window can have other windows "stacked" on
top of or behind it.
- cakewm manages column sizes (and window sizes within columns) using a
master/slave paradigm, with the ability to adjust the size ratios.
- cakewm's configuration file is simple key=val pairs, with the ability to
include other files like in C.
- cakewm has a slightly larger emphasis on window decorations (adjustable
size---even in tiled mode) and themes (nothing bloated, like pixmaps or
gradients---it's all still simple colors).
- cakewm will have proper support for international text (Japanese text in
window titles or the wmii status bar generally render as boxes) through the
use of a more advanced text library such as Pango.
Please let me know if you have comments, questions, or concerns. If you are
interested in helping, get in touch with me. If you know somewhere better to
look for volunteers, please let me know.

Wow is this forum active. Makes me feel welcome here
The thing about wireless, I actually like command line, but there are a few things that are worth having a applet or something.
And wireless is one of those. I guess I can take a look on wicd.
It's a good idea to have compiz as the WM actually. Would it be lightweight to have it like that?
Is there anybody here that uses compiz as a WM?
For the xfce4-panel, is it possible to get transparency on it? That's probably the only thing holding me back with xfce4-panel.
If "able to run compiz" wasn't a requisite, what other WM would you suggest for my "profile" ?
I would like to hear other users opinions who like to customize everything on a WM.
I recommend running Compiz by itself. There is a good wiki page on it in the Arch wiki. Some apps you'll want to go with it are:
LXAppearance --change GTK/icon theme
Feh or Nitrogen --Set Wallpaper
Xfce4-panel --The lightest one that works with Compiz properly
Or, if you don't want a panel: stalonetray
Compiz-deskmenu --For a customizable right-click main menu
Gmrun --Run dialog (Alt+F2 in most DEs)
And this helped me a lot.
Thank you all for the replies. I appreciate.
Xfce4-panel can have transparency. The only problem is that everything become transparent: text, icons, everything.
I use Compiz as a standalone WM and it is much lighter than DE+Compiz. My Compiz setup uses about 30MB(out of 1GB) more RAM than my Openbox setup (which are both the same except for the WM).

[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:

Gtk-window-decorator doesn't show window decor for background windows

I've gotten Compiz install and working fine except where gtk-window-decorator is concerned. It starts ok, but it only draws window decoration for windows in focus. The area where the decoration should be is clickable and brings the window into focus. Occasionally there is corrupt graphics where the background windows decoration should be.

Emerald works okay, but I'd rather use the gtk decorator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't want to be a bastard and all, and know that it's only been a few hours since I posted commenting that I have the same issue, but does anyone, absolutely anyone have any clue what is happening?
I have also tried running git compiz fusion and the issue is still there.
Also, when running emerald, the windecorations display fine but there are no shadows - at all.
When using gtk-window-decorator, the shadows exist but are of a similar color to my wallpaper and seem to glow and are definitely not shadowy... The decoration of the inactive window is completely transparent, save for the shadow and occasionally, parts of it render seemingly randomly looking garbled.
The issue is quite annoying since gtk-window-decorator is much faster than emerald and offers better integration with GNOME.
I'm using a GeForce 8600GTS with basically the same config files as the OP. I'm running 32-bit Arch.
I'm using the nvidia driver (as in current - I've installed the system today) and by checking nvidia.com, the version I have, 169.12 is the latest stable one.
So pretty please, with sugar on top, how do I get this working properly. This is the first time I've ever encountered the issue and so, could it be related to Arch configuration or to faulty packages?
Please help, anyone. It's quite frustrating and I really want fully-operational compiz.
Thanks everyone.
Sorry for double posting/shamelessly bumping.

After updating, menus are now transparent & windows in list view black!

I recently updated via the software update control panel some security updates and a few misc. other application updates and have now discovered that Finder pull-down menus are now totally transparent with the text appearing somewhat transparent (still readable with effort, depending on background clutter on desktop). Additionally, Finder windows in list view appear with black backgrounds and the text to folders and items within that window also is black meaning that I can only see the icons and am unable to read file and folder names.
Attempts to fix this problem have thus far included permissions repair, download and reinstall the 10.4.8 combo updater and these have not worked.
I am not blaming this issue on the updates, but it coincides in timing with that and I am quite puzzled. One interesting note is that a folder now exists on the main drive directory called "Developer," which was not there before.
Does anyone have a suggestion or an idea of what this could be?
Thanks

Onyx may be causing problems. Don't use it on a non-backed up system, as cleaning caches may damage them, and make things not work. Make sure your Spotlight indexes all drives you wish to be searchable. Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight and add each hard drive to the Privacy section, and then remove it again. Then click on the Spotlight menu every half hour to see when it stops saying that it is indexing. It might take a few hours. But once done, it should be fixed.
