[Solved] Compton + Shadow + Hangout Chrome App

When using "compton," I am getting a shadow box around the chrome app which vanishes when I kill compton. I need to do a shadow-exclude for the window but how the heck do I figure out what the window information I need to add do the compton.conf for it to be excluded?

Have you tried clicking on the window using the xprop command?

IPhone keyboard a strange color and quits in Google app and Chrome app

I'm experiencing strange behavior on my iPhone 4s (iOS version 6.1.3) in two apps: Google Search and Chrome. In these apps, when I invoke the virtual keyboard, it is an odd light violet color rather than the normal black/white/gray color. The keyboard will work in Google Search, but the first keyboard character you touch in the Chrome app makes the entire keyboard disappear. I have reset the phone and also deleted both apps and reinstalled as already purchased apps from the App Store. I have searched the web to see if I could find anyone else who might have this problem, but I've found nothing. The only things that an Apple technician at my local Apple Store suggested were to restore the phone from iCloud or a local copy in iTunes. (I'm saving this strategy as a last ditch effort, as I don't really think this will solve the problem.) This same Apple tech also suggested that I post here in the Apple Support Communities. Anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions about this problem?

I finally relented and did a full restore of my iPhone, and this has fixed the problem.

[SOLVED]Compton, Conky and RXVT-Unicode not playing nicely

Hello. I'm having some problems making my desktop how I want it. My window manager is fluxbox.
First problem is just a minor inconvenience, but annoying. When I login, a transparent terminal spawns to my specification, but it is skewed.

However, as soon as I open any window it fixes itself

Second problem is that I can't figure out how to remove the shadow under conky. I know that it is coming from the slit, but it just won't go away. I can get it to go away if I set conky to desktop instead of panel, but then when I launch any window it overlaps with the conky bar, and that is unaceptable. Maybe there is a fluxbox configuration option that reserves some space so nothing can overlap it? But I couldn't find anything.
Here are the config files I think are relevant:

using lowercase conky in compton doesn't change anything. I'm pretty sure that shadow is not from conky, but from the slit. When I set the slit to autohide in the init file, the shadow hides as well. And there is no shadow in any other conky window type I've tried, except type panel. Unfortunately, it is the only one so far with the behavior I want.
I would like to use true transparency in urxvrt, since that does solve the skew issue and I think it looks better. However, in doing so the terminal is quite useless since there is a lot of text that I can't see, because the font becomes the same color as certain backgrounds. Unless there is a way to separate it? I want it to look like the one on the left (left = fake transparency, right = true transparency).

How can I change the default country Google uses when I search for things on the search bar on the Google Chrome app for the iPad 2?

Whenever I search using the search bar, the Google Chrome app always uses google.com.ph as I bought and set up the iPad in the Philippines. How can I change this to google.com or google.ca permanently?

Trying to create a Chrome app via template

Hi,
I am trying to create a Chrome app via the template option in ZAV 11, without any success since only version 35 of Chrome is supported, and only ver 39 is available for download. If I try to create an app via the snapshot third party menu option, the app crashes on start-up, no matter what I do. This is driving me crazy to tell the truth!! Please update the templates to reflect the most current version of Chrome, or remove it completely as this is not a workable option as you now offer it.
Regards,
Garth

I am creating a Virtual app based on chrome and have the same problems. I however did find an older offline installer for chrome. I sent you a PM with a link.

Can't reinstall chrome app on iPad

I have lost google chrome app on iPad. Can't find it in spotlight either. However in AppStore it shows as installed and can't reinstall it.

Hi oxbox,
Did you check under the Purchased tab in the Apps store on your iPad? If you did accidently delete it from the iPad, it should show there with a little cloud next to it. If that doesn't work, try resetting your iPad (press Home and Power buttons at the same time and hold them down until the Silver Apple appears), then check again in the Apps Store/Purchased to see if it will let you download from the cloud.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

Is it possible to use the google chrome app as standard browser on ipad?

Is it possible to use the google chrome app as standard browser on ipad, or do i have to jailbreak it or some thing?
Thanks in advance.

Nothing you can do there, except submit feedback to Apple and ask them to include this option in a future version of iOS: http://apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

I was downloading itransmition on my iPad when done downloading there's a shadow of the app still downloading as if I am downloading again. Then I uninstall the app by clicking the 'x' but the shadow still there and I can't get rid of it.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

How do I remove ITunes and all the associated apps connected with ITunes from IPAD air. I did not ask for the download. It happened when I added a Chrome app.

My IPAD air that I use strictly for work automatically downloaded ITunes installation app and all the usual apps that come on with ITunes such as store, App Store, face time, ect when I downloaded the CHROME app for work. How to I delete all of these?

You can't. Those built in apps are not able to be deleted. The most you can do is to put them on a back menu page or tuck them in a folder.
They didn't come with the chrome app, they were there all along.
You can also go into the restrictions and enable restrictions and turn the apps off, which will make their icons invisible even though the apps will still be on your device.

Start google chrome app mode maximized (gnome)

Hi All!
I am using google chrome's --app mode ("Application Shortcuts https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95710?hl=en ).
I am using gnome (3.16.2) and I am trying to make the shortcuts open maximized, instead of apppearing in a tiny window on the top left corner of the leftmost monitor.
Chrome version is 43.0.2357.125 .
Adding --start-maximized to the command line has no effect.
Thanks in advance,
Udi.

The full command may be for example:
google-chrome --app=https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive --start-maximized
I think I have found another clue:
If I change the size of the window *without* maximizing it, close it, and reopen it, it will remember the size and will open the window exactly on the same place.
However, If the window is maximized, it will not remember the "maximized" state and the new window will be tiny instead.

Google chrome app problems

Hello! I downloaded the Google Chrome app on my iPad and it was working fine. One day I went to use it and it wasn't there! I went to the App Store to reinstall it and the free link doesn't work. It has free and a little cross in the upper left corner of the link. What does that mean? Can I fix it and how?

Hey! I figured it out. I had to go to Settings, General, Reset, and Reset All Settings. It didn't erase any of my apps but the personal changes I made for instance, the photo I had as my screensaver & background went back to the original factory screen and my lock screen went back to the factory setting. Just some minor settings I have to change back but that is it. It fixed it. Thanks again for your help.

Slow internet problem on my iMac solved by installing Google Chrome browser

Slow internet problem on my iMac solved by installing Google Chrome. My daughter came with her macbook pro loaded with OSX 10.6.8 but running Chrome and she could open all my problem websites instantly. So fault was in Safari. Thanks for all your help. My original post has disappeared

Why does Verizon Wireless ask to confirm my email address when I touch the Google Chrome app, but not respond when the correct info is entered?

I touch the Chrome app icon on my Droid and a Verizon message comes up. It asks me to confirm my email address as shown on the screen, and has a field for entering my billing zip. When I do so, it flashes as if processing but comes right back to the same screen with the zip code field empty. I went on line and confirmed that all info in my profile was correct. Anyone out there with the same problem and/or help?

Lets get to the bottom of this, Dwix! I personally use the Google Chrome application and love it. I am confident that we can figure it out together. Did you just start using the application? Have you had this message pop-up before? You mentioned that it is a Verizon Message, does it come in a form of a text message? Is it possible for you to send us a screenshot of this message?
Please share the details needed so that we can better assist!
Thank you,

Apple configurator - chrome app installs but icon does not appear

Using AC 1.4, created profile, downloaded 14 apps including Google Chrome
All apps appeared to install according to AC, got ding bell after signaling all tasks complete but
When I go to the ipad and scroll to app page only 13 apps are present AND no chrome app icon
No matter what I do to try and uninstall or reinstall the Chrome app does not appear, All other apps are OK and icon is on Ipad
Thank you

I belive that Chrome is an age restricted app. If you have any age restrictions set with a Configurator profile, MDM profile or on the iPad itself, Chrome will not be displayed.
hope that helps.
