Gtk-window-decorator missing after installing Compiz-Fusion

I just installed ArchLinux and wanted to try out Compiz-Fusion in Gnome. I installed it using the Compiz-Fusion wiki's instructions. Everything works fine, except that I can't use the gtk-window-decorator. After some research I found out that this file is missing. I checked out the Compiz-Fusion site, and it seems it ought to come with Compiz-Fusion. I checked in Linux Mint and found it there, so obviously it's missing in my ArchLinux box.
Can someone please veryfy if it should be part of the Compiz-Fusion packages?

See the second posting.
Oups! I searched for 'gtk-window-decorator'.  It could be nice to mention these separate packages on the wiki Compiz-Fusion page. There are probably many out there looking for them.
Thanks!

  • 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.

  • Gnome-window-decorator missing after upgrade

    Last night I did a pacman -Syu from a archlinux cd installation, this fixed many many problems, but broke compiz-git, which I like so much.
    Now when I run startxgl script, I get no window decoration in gnome, and gnome-window-decorator, the binary, is missing.
    This makes me remember when we changed from gwd to cgwd, which, I think sucks.
    Is there a way to fix this? I want my window decorations back
    any help would be very appreciated

    thanks for your reply twistedkaos, but I dont want to use cgwd, I want to use compiz-git
    I tried copying my gnome-window-decorator binary from /bin from ubuntu dapper to /bin of archlinux, guess what? it worked perfectly. I just had to put "--replace" to the last gnome-window-decorator call of startxgl (the one that calls gnome-session).
    Well, not so perfect so far, gnome hangs at startup loading gnome-wm or something like that (I can see it sessions > running) but if I click on "remove" and "apply", it reloads and everything works well (still no good log out, I have to kill my X)
    Now it is not working because I messed up my session gnome config which I dont know how to clean back, but, its there, its not difficult, and its probably not the cleanest way to do it
    I will upload the gwd binary somewhere so you guys can use it too
    here it is : http://webrepository.unlugar.com/arch/g … -decorator

  • Compiz-fusion + gtk-window-decorator minimize and maximize missing

    I am running GNOME using x64 at work, and here since the upgrade to 2.24, my minimize and maximize buttons are missing using the GTK-window-decorator in Compiz.
    I have had this problem at home using my i686 system when I used the testing repository, but the problem was fixed in the packages that entered the extra repository.
    Now I wonder why this problem still exists in the x64 packages. I did not test the former testing packages because I have to do my daily work on this pc.
    Please help me. Is there a broken package that was not fixed in the x64 repo or do I need to do something myself?
    Last edited by PJGrefhorst (2008-10-27 10:19:46)

    I solved the problem myself. The compiz-decorator-gtk needs to be rebuild against the new metacity and compiz. Please replace the package!

  • [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] 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, XFCE, and gtk-window-decorator

    I recently caused my system to stop booting by messing with some stuff (yay for editing files and not reading the entire wiki page first!) and I ended up just deciding to do a clean arch install (when your system partition has 50Gb of programs on it, half of which you don't use, its probably time to clean anyway). I decided to use XFCE since that has been running very stably on my netbook for some time (usually around ~14 days of uptime until I forget to recharge the battery and it turns off) in favor of Gnome or KDE since I have been having lots of problems with them and stability (usually 1-2 days of uptime until I have to end up restarting because of a freeze or something)
    My one beef with XFCE on my desktop computer compared to my netbook was its lack of eye candy stuff. I feel like I am underusing my computer. So, I decided to try installing compiz on it. I read on the wiki page that using emerald was buggy and so I decided to use gtk-window-decorator for a window decorator. I have a whole bunch of Gnome3 themes in my home directory since previously I had gnome installed and so I was wondering, why can't I seem to change the window theme?
    The window theme is stuck in this big blocky mode that doesn't look horrible, but I would sure like to be able to change it. I have gnome-tweak-tool installed, but switching the themes on that doesn't seem to have any effect (I may be switching on the wrong page, however). I like the xfce themes and I would like to be able to use those with compiz, but I just don't see how to do it. All my googling has brought up nothing about actually managing to change the gtk-window-decorator window decoration theme in compiz running in xfce on arch.

    You are either not trying around & searching for solutions enough or not providing enough info on what you already did.
    Did you try lxappearance?
    Did you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#Icons
    ... and make sure your icons are in the right location etc?
    Did you check - and where necessary - try to fix the configuration as described here?

  • 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.

    run emerald or if you have your fusion icon in your systray > right click > emerald theme manager and change your theme

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

    Install "metacity2" from AUR.  "metacity" in the main repos recently made a big version jump to 3 from 2.  3 is not compatible with gtk-window-decorator, you must use 2.  2 will replace 3 when you install it.
    Edit: And when it works go to the AUR page for the compiz flavor you're using (there's a few of them) and report they need to replace "metacity" with "metacity2" in their depends for the PKGBUILD.
    Thanks alot!
    It works for me (I have the compiz-xfce installed.)  It's a pitty that compiz-xfce in AUR is now a orphan. A substition could be https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-manjaro/
