Gnome+compiz - window border issue

Hi Folks,
I am a longtime ubuntu user and just transitioned into Arch over the weekend (from karmic 9.10). I am very, very impressed so far, everything works on my thinkpad R50p without issues.
I have gnome+compiz installed with the opensource ATI driver and everything works , but I have a strange issue. Whenever I maximize a window to fit fullscreen the top window border (with the window name, maximize/minimize/close buttons) doesn't display properly. I am able to 'unmaximize' windows by right clicking and choosing the proper option on the top window border.
A couple screen shots:
regular, unmaximized window (notice blue border): http://imgur.com/EMumh.png
same window, maximized (notice absence of blue border just beneath the gnome top panel, where the mouse pointer is): http://imgur.com/Vrtzo.png
Is there a fix for this issue? Do I have some setting wrong somewhere, by any chance?

I was struggling with this problem, until I found this blog.
He suggests to open ccsm (run it as a command from the terminal, or start it from the system menu) and find windows decoration.
Make sure it is enabled (it allready was, in my case). Now click on it, to edit the options. In my case command was empty. So, I put gtk-window-decorator
there, as suggested on the blog, I mentioned earlier. Click on Back and Close. The borders should appear now.
Hope this helps someone.

  • Nvidia + GNOME + Compiz + GTK Window decorator = Glitchy window border

    Running Compiz + Nvidia. The window border sometimes goes wacky as seen in the screenshot, but not always. Happens with any GTK theme I have tried. 
    Does anyone have any idea what's causing this?

    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!

  • Compiz alt-tab issue

    Hi all!
    My problem is Compiz window switcher acts kind a weird on my system. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I dont even have to restart my gnome session - for example, it can work for five minutes and than suddenly become buggy again (i guess bug on/off `triggers` when new windows are opened).
    These 2 videos are recorded on same gnome-session, with 1-2 minutes gap between.
    http://not.justdied.com/vid/001/alt-tab-fine.ogv
    http://not.justdied.com/vid/001/alt-tab-fail.ogv
    As you can see, compiz switcher fails @ drawing window titles.
    Anyone have ideas how to solve this? I got up-to-date arch with gnome, nvidia driver 190.53. If u need some additional info, pls ask.
    Tnx in advance!

    Why fusion-icon? Which program to you use to log out of X? For me, I use Compiz itself, so if I switched window managers with fusion-icon, it would kill X. Different Strokes.
    I recommend Xfce4-panel if you do use Compiz Standalone. It has a lot of excellent plugins and it still very lightweight. Plus its taskbar and workspace switcher work properly with Compiz.

    Hey Silvio,
    as far as I know, you should install compiz fusion, see here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Fusion.
    The wiki you mentioned is deprecated, I think.

  • Compiz - window decoration offset

    gtk-window-manager and emerald seems to have problem with mouse cursor placing.
    Mouse actions are little bit off. For example, I cant rezise gnome-terminal window from down, down right corner or right and action buttons (minimize, close...)  gets signal for about 10 pixels to the left from cursor.
    Resizing from left and top left works. Before updating to 2.20 gnome and with older compiz-fusion it worked perfectly. Any Ideas what might cause this? Same problem occurs in my two arch64 machines but not in my i686 laptop :I

    I have the same problem on my laptop running arch64 with the latest compiz-fusion. I can only resize windows with the upper or left edge, and the action buttons are a bit too close to each other, and seems to misread the mouse slightly.

  • Window border transparency

    Hi
    By default, Windows 8 has a transparent taskbar, but the Window-borders are not transparent.
    The dialog for the apperance of the taskbar - and Window-borders color only has the possibility, to change the color, but not the transparency.
    Where do I switch on transparency of the Window-border?
    Patrick

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that you want the glass-like transparent windows feature in windows 8. I will help you with this issue.
    I would like to let you know that Aero feature or Aero glass is not a part of Windows 8 anymore. The new windows elements are rendered in solid colors instead.
    If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

  • I can't eject ("files in use by another application") Windows/Vista Issue?

    OK... so in the grand scheme of things, this really is NOT the end of the world... but it sure is super-annoying!! This is my first every Apple product (took a while to get on the bandwagon) and I was hoping for more stability and ease of use... I've called AppleCare several times and they can't help me figure this out... according to them it's a Windows/Vista issue (which DOES seem likely). I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Dimension E521.
    Here's how it goes... I plug my iPod in, which opens up iTunes and it syncs fine. I wait until the top of iTunes says "sync complete" and the face of the iPod simply says "Connected". Then I click on the "eject" button next to the iPod listing in iTunes. It pauses for a moment, then I look down and the iPod suddenly has those syncing, circular arrows, moving again and it says "Synchronizing- do not disconnect". And then a few moments later, iTunes gives me a pop-up that says " XXXX ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application"
    So obviously, something else is connecting to the iPod and preventing me from ejecting it using iTunes, but I have not been able to figure out what it is!
    Since it's something on my machine, I have tried the following:
    - shut down AntiVirus (TrendMicro Internet Security 2008)
    - turned off Windows Firewall
    - went through all the programs running in the task bar and turned them off
    - opened up Task Manager and turned EVERYTHING else I could see off
    None of the above have made any difference. The workaround that Apple gave me was to go into Computer and then right click on the listed drive and select "Safely Remove" which usually works (the times it doesn't work, it gives a similar message saying the device was being used by another application and can't be removed, try again later). But 90% of the time it works.
    I use that or the Eject option when I right click on that drive (not sure the difference, they seem to do the same thing). The workaround works, but I'd sure LOVE to get iTunes to be able to eject my iPod!!
    Here's what I've done regarding this iPod and iTunes:
    - reset the iPod
    - restored the iPod
    - uninstalled and re-installed iTunes
    - selected and unselected the various things I'm syncing (currently: Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Photos) to see if it was one of them causing the issue
    NONE of the above has made any difference (and I've done each about 2-3 times, ZERO exaggeration).
    I've called into AppleCare about half a dozen times now, hoping to get that one brilliant tech that knows more than the others... but no luck yet... so I thought I'd try this forum to see if one of the brilliant posters here can help me sort this out.
    PLEASE- ANY help you can provide (or even just point me in the "right" direction of how to determine this) would be GREATLY appreciated!!
    Thanks so much in advance,
    SC

    I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

    We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI.  One person is on Windows 7.  The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1).  I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all.  There are different error messaged depending upon the doc.  Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...."  Others are "insufficient data" errors.  There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them.  Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf.  The files end up with bad formatting.  I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution.  I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online  Would very much appreciate any assistance.  Thank you

    The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
    If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
    As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct.

  • Windows 8 Issues

    So, I have purchased 'Windows 8 Pro' and am working to get it stable on my W520.
    Specs:
    - Lenovo W520 4270-CTO
    - i7 2720qm
    - Quadro 2000m
    - 16gb G-Skill DDR3
    - 120gb Intel 320 SSD
    Usage:
    - Systems Engineer using various development suites, virtualization technologies (directed i/o is a must), and other processor/ram intensive activities. I am looking to use Hyper-V and do some fairly heavy infrastructure simulations.
    - Occasional games (usually DOTA, Skyrim, etc.) which run at high FPS with gfx settings near maxed (Starcraft 2 is an exception, which doesn't work at all...  Stupid Blizzard...)
    Windows 8 Issues:
    - Cannot boot off install media with VT-d Virtualization Technology enabled. If I re-enable it post-install, sometimes it crashes, sometimes it doesn't.
    - Blue screens on sleep resume
    - Crashes on various driver installs (random, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't), locks up on boot, then after physical restart, crashes on Automatic Repair before being able to start back up normally.
    - After installing Hyper-V, system crashes, crashes on automatic repair, then is AOK...until it randomly crashes
    What I've Tried:
    - Switching between Integrated/Discrete/Optimus graphics doesn't seem to have made any difference.
    - Disabling VT-d seems to have helped with issues booting, but alas, no big fixes
    - Updated BIOS to 1.38, and 1.39 - both made no difference, still at 1.39.
    - Event log reports kernal power loss and various bugcheck errors but unable to find anything referencing the code provided, nor is there any surefire reported dll or driver which seems to be sticking out.
    - I have attempted 3-4 installs from scratch without resolve.
    Other then these issues, if its booted and doesn't crash, the o/s is quite peppy (faster then w7 by a fair degree) and the UltraNav touchpad works quite well with navigating Metro and various Charms.
    Have a Mini Series 3 dock which works well (although it has its issues i'll post up elsewhere) and switches between docked and normal usage with ease.
    I have since reverted back to Windows 7 until I can find something promising to work with as the lack of support resources is understandably limited at this point.
    I cannot develop for Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 without upgrading or buying a new system. I've been quite happy with my W520 but this is just frustrating and would rather not move to another mftr if I don't have to.
    My question:
    >>> Has anyone successfully installed and run Windows 8 Pro without issue?
    >>> If so, can you please provide me with what releases/versions of the drivers you are running and what BIOS version you are running.
    Any suggestions or sources would be immensely helpful in my quest to get W8 somewhat usable on this beast.
    Thanks in advance!

    BSOD on resume:
    Happened to a W530 with Crucial m4 mSATA SSD. It turned out that it would happen if the drive is password-protected. After removing the password in BIOS Setup, there's no more BSOD on resume.
    So, thusfar, no BSODs on resume. I still have to install the rest of the drivers but at this point, no BSOD since fresh install early this morning. I only have the single Intel 320 SSD in my SATA bay, no mSata drive as of yet. Additionally, I do not have a HDD password. I use the BIOS password w/ fingerprint authentication though.
    Post-install, Windows had installed whatever drivers it felt were necessary. After that finished, I had installed Lenovo System Update and went through its update procedure. I elected to install all but:
    - ThinkVantage Active Protection (I have SSD, not necessary)
    - Audio Driver for Windows 832/864 (Sound works, reports as High Definition Audio Device - I am investigating option for Dolby driver as I had setup in Windows 7 as per W520 Sound Enhancement thread)
    - Ricoh Media Card Reader Device (only used a handful of times in the past, will find some cards to test)
    Outstanding issues:
    - Device Manager reports two non-install devices (Base System Device and Unknown Device).
      - Base System Device hardware ID is: NTPNP_PC <-- I don't know what this is, any ideas?
      - Unknown Device hardware ID is: ACPI/LEN   <-- I assume intel chipset since I had already installed Power Management driver via System Update?
    - Update other Windows standard drivers to Lenovo Windows 8 releases
    - Update NVidia Drivers to latest release/verde (maybe depending on video performance)
    - Setup Fingerprint software in Windows 8 to match that of the BIOS as right now, no fingerprint auth in Win8
    - Install Development software, Hyper-v once I have everything else settled
    - Anything else I'm forgetting?
    Without jumping the gun, it seems as installing using UEFI fixed a few critical reliability problems (VT-d, boot, etc.). Try that if you're having severe stability issues.

  • Unable to Resolve Windows Update Issue in Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I recently, as far back as 1 month ago, began experiencing issues with the update service under the Windows 8.1 OS platform.
    I found that I was having to repeatedly run the Windows Update Troubleshooting Tool. This appeared to fix the issue with each run of the tool, but eventually I'd have the same problem receiving updates again. My problem is as follows:
    1. Windows Update service hangs during register analysis.
    2. Unable to reset (stop or restart) wuauserv. 
    3. Unable to reset (stop or restart) Cryptserv.
    4. Unable to reset (stop or restart) BITS.
    5. Unit recently, was unable to connect to internet from Desktop GUI, but was able to connect using Metro GUI.
    I'm not sure is there was a recent update that caused this issue, but I can no longer download updates for my system, nor can I successfully run the Windows Update Fixit tool.

    Hi,
    Let's confirm these situations:
    Now your desktop Internet Explorer can't connect Internet.
    You receiving the same updates again and again.
    If I am right, please check that update's installation status from update history.
    Then refer to this article to troubleshoot:

  • On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it  a windows 8 issue?

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • Windows Firewall issue, Inbound rule opend all, still not the same as turning off

    This is Windows Firewall issue on Windows 8.1 Pro. 
    Backup Exec server cannot expand a computer node in selection list. I drill down to Microsoft Windows Network/Domain/Computers, then when I tried to expand a Windows 8.1 Pro computer node, it hangs out. 
    I narrowed this problem to Windows firewall related issue on Windows 8.1 Pro computer. 
    When I turn off Windows Firewall on Domain profile, Backup Exec Selection expands the computer node of the Windows 8.1 Pro computer. So, I created an inbound rule opening all to BAckup Exec server as following, but it's still not the same as turning off
    Windows firewall specifically on Windows 8.1 Pro computer;
    Any Local IP address, Any Remote IP address, Any port, Any protocol, All Interface, All Programs and Services, All profiles(Domain, Private, Public)
    And there are no rules blocking any which may override the above rule. 
    Ethernet on Windows 8.1 Pro computer shows profile is linked with Domain, but just to make it work, I selected all profiles.
    Even though I opened all available in inbound rule, it's still not the same as turning off windows firewall. Why am I missing? 

    It looks as something related to RPC(UDP 135), but even when inbound rule is all open, why it matters? RPC seems working fine only when firewall is turned off on domain profile. 
    Protocol 17 is UDP
    Port: 135

  • How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

    How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?
    For example, a border: a black line with a width 1 and then a transparent line with a width 5. Further inner, it is the content pane.
    In JavaSE, there seems to have the paintComponent() method for the JFrame to realize the effect.

    Not sure why your code is doing that. I usually use an ObjectProperty<Point2D> to hold the initial coordinates of the mouse press, and set it to null on a mouse release. That seems to avoid the dragging being confused by mouse interaction with other nodes.
