Compiz-Fusion & Emerald Problems

[Rahim]

Hi guys,
The problem is when i select a theme from Emerald Theme Manager (like Mac4Lin or else) the window border changes fine but the buttons(forward/backword/refresh etc) doesnt change (it remains Ubuntu Human's).
I have made changes in CCSM by typing emerald as Windows Decorator.
Further whenever i select Custom from Appearances it changes to Compiz-Fusion alright but when i check it again its selected as Normal or Extras.

If i have selected emerald as default window decorator so changes through Appearances should not take place when i change icons but it does even though Emerald is selected and running.

I have Intel 845GVSR Mobo.

Emerald themes only change window borders and not any other part of a window. For the buttons you need to get normal GTK themes from Gnome-Look or elsewhere.

^Is it true?

 

[gary4gar]

yeah, what harsh says is word of Computer Itself, just next to GOD

 

[Faun]

yep

Ok got my answer to the 1st query. Now what about the 2nd? ie When i select Custom then why it reverts back to Normal or Extras in Visuals Tab upon re-check?

@Querty : No offence bhai

Isn't emerald running??

 

[Rahim]

Yes it is.

 

[abhinandh]

then probably compiz is running.
emerald requires compiz to run.

 

[Rahim]

Arey bhai both are running but the option "Custom" is getting changed to "Normal" or "Extras".

 

[abhinandh]

custom option means compiz.
if compiz is running why bother about options??

 

[praka123]

with compiz,there may be some options available for intel,ati,nvidia Xorg drivers to improve performace.
for eg:
my nvidia options in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :-

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7300 GT]"
    Driver        "nvidia"
    BusID        "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
    Option          "AddARGBVisuals"        "True"
        Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals"     "True"
        Option          "NoLogo"        "True"
        Option          "UseEdidDpi"   "FALSE"
Option         "RenderAccel" "True"
        Option          "DPI"   "96 x 96"
EndSection

@ rahim - try a 'emerald --replace' and then in appearance tab in visual effects,first set it to normal then then to extra and then maybe to custom if u want.

 

[Faun]

wasn't the command other way out ?

emerald --replace
