Ubuntu :: Shadow Certain Type Of Window With Emerald
Jul 12, 2011
I'm using this metacity theme along with the included (and AMAZING) emerald theme for the window borders. Just wondering if there's any way I can keep the window borders as they are, but put shadows on for the gnome-panel and my stickynotes? See HERE.When I try to adjust the shadow settings in emerald, it changes everything -- including the window borders, which make the theme look horrible.I know I can specify certain types and classes of windows when using compiz as default window decorator with ccsm, but is there any way to do something like this with emerald?

In the Emerald Themer, I'm able to apply a theme, but only the title bar changes. The rest of the window remains the theme the themes of 'right click > Change Desktop Background > Theme Tab'. (Yes, I have tried the emerald --replace thing)In short, the theme of the window is kinda half-and-half between Emerald and GTK. Screens attached.(Screen shot 1 is illustrating a emerald theme, with matching gtk theme, screen 2 is showing the same emerald theme, but this time with a different GTK theme. Also, ignore the odd look of the images, it's a twinview setup with screen one zoomed in)

I'm not sure about anybody else, but I have spent many hours today trying to figure out how to get Compiz as a window manager. Alas, I have tasted success. Once compiz and Emerald are both installed, simply go to Code:Configure Desktop > Default Applications > Window Management and then select from the drop down menu.Now those beautiful emerald themes will work. I have seen many other 'solutions' for KDE4 and they may have worked for some, but not for me. I hope this will help somebody who may be as frustrated as I was.

I had installed compiz and emerald when I was using Fedora 9, upgraded to 10 (compiz and emerald still working at this stage) tho when I upgraded to 11 compiz and emerald seem to have crashed (i upgraded using preupgrade both times, maybe this might be a bit of a problem...) Since upgrading to 11, neither compiz or emerald would work. Ive tried reinstalling both compiz and emerald, and even erasing them both, restarting and then installing (both times thru yum).
This has brought back compiz and the effects (I can use AWN, desktops on a cube etc) but there is no window borders (cant move, resize etc). Ive tried different window managers (emerald, gtk and even kde4 has been installed..) and tried reloading the window mangers thru the fusion icon. Nothing seems to work, unless I stop compiz from running at startup (but then I lose all the desktop 'candy'). Searching the net has brought up a couple of options (Under CCSM):
- Check the box "Windows Decorations" and under its properties write emerald --replace (or whatever WM)
- Check the box "Place windows"
but none of these seem to work either.

Is there some way top stop the "blind effect" of compiz so that when you double click the top title bar of a window that it maximizes the window instead of the rolling up type effect? Also when i place my mouse on the top right of the screen it brings it to a choosing window type mode where you can pick which window you would like to open, is it possible to get this on the top left of the screen instead? Lastly when I use Kdebluetooth4 to send a file to my computer where does that file save to?

I have desktop effects on and window shadows enabled. The main windows don't seem to follow this, nor does any taskbar pop-ups when you hover your mouse over them. I even set the shadow settings to high/annoying settings but I only see it on context/right-click menus.
I don't like the blue shadow because it is too light, but I can't seem to find where to change it. This seems to also apply to in-active windows as far as the size of the shadow but with a gray shadow instead. Still, if the desktop effects were effecting this, then the shadows I see should be large. Plus, desktop effects only give you one color choice with it just being darker on the active window. How to change this?

My plan is to slowly switch over to this Distro rather than use Gnome 3 or Unity, but I'm not as familiar with Debian. I've gotten everything working (including Compiz) except that I can't find Emerald anywhere? Is it possible to install Emerald in Debian Squeeze? If so, is there a PPA or repository?

I am having an issue with Ubuntu 10.10 and VNCServer. I can connect to my Ubuntu box remotely with VNC, but if I type any character anywhere, it closes out the window I was typing in. I dont seem to have a problem clicking and opening windows and applications, I just cant type anything into them without the window closing. Has anyone seen this behavior and know what the fix is?

I have compiz enabled and I like the effects, but it messes up whenever I open a menu in KDE, like right clicking something or he KMenu. I want to disable it, so I tried an inverted match to unmatch kicker, but it didn't quite work.Right now, I have it only to mach Normal and Dialog windows. I tried to get the window information with the information utility for X (I forgot what it was), but it said the cursor was busy.How can I unmatch popup menus from KDE?

I just started taking a Unix/Linux programming class. We will be using the vi editor. I have been trying to figure out how to install it on my Ubuntu 10.4 and not having much luck. I type "vi" in terminal window and it comes up with VIM - Vi IMproved and some other text. Is there more to start the vi editor? I am pretty green with installing programs in Ubuntu.

In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive

I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m
error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type
sh: gnuplot: not found
Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);

I want to theme my Ubuntu. I have heard that Emerald is good for this, but I just don't understand how to use it.
There is a theme there already called "Beryl Red" (I assume it's a default), but there is no button to install or use it.

how to use Emerald in XFCE, Note: I've installed Compiz, Fusion, and Emerald, but XFCE just plain refuses to acknowledge their presence.
There must be a script I need to edit somewhere...
This is the BETA version of the latest Xubuntu, by the way...

I just upgraded my Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 and can't use it normally after getting in desktop, not after a struggle to switch to switch the desktop to gnome. Plus, even in gnome, the emerald can't start as well, it says "stack error" when I run "sudo emerald --replace".
