Window Decorator With Compiz

Dont worry if you are using compiz and the title bar of all your windows suddenly disappear…this is just because the window decorator you are using has crashed….

Now there are two ways to get out of it…clean one is restart you machine….but if u r stuck with something and dont want to restart then just use the following command —>

1. “kde-window-decorator –replace” (if you are using the kde3 window decorator).

2.”emerald –replace” (if you are using emerald window decorator).

3.”kde4-window-decorator –replace” (if you are using kde4 window decorator).

And if compiz-fusion as a whole crashes the try the command “compiz ccp&”.

But u will need a restart eventually to make EVERY thing normal.

Compiz 0.7

Contradictory to my previous blog compiz 0.7 is working fine…it was just the color opacity that was crashing  my compiz, and after testing all other plugins i found out that blur plugin  is also crashing compiz.Many new plugins have also been added like login/logout (though i was not able to find out what is does), magnifier, show mouse, appearance of cube atlantis has also been improved, error notification has been added etc. I was not able to use the new multi monitor support that they claim to have added, i any one knows how to use it please help me out with it.

Still looking forward for the new stable version of compiz fusion.

Latest Compiz

Hi every one i just wanted to inform every one that compiz 0.7.0 is out and its not stable.Atleast with my Linux kernal 2.6.22.17-0.1 on openSUSE it crashes and is not working at all. So please beware before updating it. I will suggest that every one should wait for the next stable version before upgradaion.

Leaving it apart i would like to inform that latest version of compiz-fusion has support for dual monitor in it which was not working till the last stable version.
