Ubuntu :: Have A Window Decoration Like A Clock

May 12, 2011

I have my toolbars (top and bottom) set to autohide to save screen real estate, but I need to have a clock so I always know what time it is (my clock widget keeps disappearing). There's actually tons of real estate going to waste on the top window bar. I know the program I'm looking at, and I know where I am. I think it would be cool if we could just get rid of the top bar thing, or at least make it 1/3 the size.

Otherwise, I'd like to have a clock on it, at least, since it's completely blank all the way across to the right side of the screen.

Ubuntu :: Lost Window Decoration And Other Settings

Sep 1, 2011

I'm using ubuntu classic on 11.04 (that's not the foolish part). I was tidying up my main menu with the Edit Menu application, and deleted all of the hidden items in the Applications submenu 'Other', including things like Compiz, Metacity, Open Folder, Window Manager.I had believed that this would have no effect on the operation of anything; only upon what was listed in the menu, but the effects seem to have been quite severe and wide-ranging.Now, at reboot, there is no background image, cursor, or windows decorator (I have to get a terminal window open and run compiz --replace), and I cannot open locations from the places Menu (I get an error telling me that no application is registered as handling this file). There are probably other consequences I have yet to discover.

The desktop.configuration files for the 'Other' menu items are still present in Usr/Share/Applications directory.Is there a way that I can restore things to the way they worked before I deleted these Menu items? It would be an enormous help in my predicament.

Ubuntu :: Conky Clock And Top Panel Clock Not In Sync

May 27, 2011

I'm using a very simple conky script to diplay the date and time on my desktop. I've noticed that he conky clock is a few seconds early compared to the time displayed in the right hand side of the top panel (Natty). I guess both displays are based on the same "internal" time, so I'm left wondering how this could happen, and how to sync back the clocks.

It seems that Conky is in sync with the system date, while the panel clock is 2 seconds late (on my system). Checked with while true; do date; sleep 0.1; done

Ubuntu :: GDM2setup: Can't Change Decoration

Dec 1, 2010

Currently playing with Ubuntu 10.10 and installing the usual programs but one thing is bothering me. Previous versions of Ubuntu (last I tried was 9.04) have always had nice and configurable loginscreens. This time however, I am not having so much success. After following the advice of downloading GDM2setup, I was able to change the background image. But I wanted to change the login to something darker. The white login screen looks so ... white. Even using Gdm2setup - Decoration doesn't make any difference in what I get on startup. Can anybody give me a hand?

What I currently get is a white/grey square a nice computer icon and Username in black. I've seen a few tutorials on the net but further than change the background and icons, I can't see anyone change this to a darker background. Am I asking/expecting too much?

Among different tut, I tried this one [URL] but can't seem to change the color of the login dialog. What's up with that?

CentOS 5 :: Get Rid Of Virtual Clock And Use Physical Clock?

I had cloned a centos 5.6 installation from virtualbox virtual machine to physical box. Everything work fine. However, the time showing in os using date command differs from bios time by roughly 4 hours. I am running ntp services which sync the time with another centos server on the network. It appears that some services are using virtual clock and some use physical clock. How do I get rid of virtual clock and only use physical clock?

Ubuntu :: 'Decoration Windows' Rule Does Not Properly Update With Emerald?

Mar 25, 2011

I am using the Emerald window decorator and want to hide the titlebar of windows that are maximized. In CompizConfig is an option for choosing which windows should be decorated, and since I don't want to decorate maximized windows, I added !state=maxvert. This works well with the default GTK window decorator, but when using Emerald it fails: first it seems working, but after unmaximizing a window suddenly all windows lack decoration. It even stays that way when I readd 'any' to the line, I have to switch to the default decorator or restart gnome. Now is there any way to make this work with Emerald? I would really like to keep my current theme while hiding full-screen title bars.

Edit:

Not exactly related: I am also using Global Menu which is nice, but the window management menu (maximize, minimize, resize etc.) only works if the window list is activated too. Is there a solution or do I have to create a bug report at that project? :v

Ubuntu :: Corrupted Windows Decoration On Maximized Windows

Sep 20, 2010

I use KDE 4.5.1 on Ubuntu and every time I maximize a window the windows decoration look wrong: there are no more borders on the decoration when maximized. The windows title and the buttons have no space between them and the screen border at all. Not even one pixel.

- buttons & decoration still there
- decoration borders, corners & placeholders all gone!

This happens with every single windows decoration I choose.I use all default settings on the kwin-effects.

Ubuntu :: Move The Window Control Buttons When The Window Is In Full Screen Mode?

May 3, 2011

How do I move the Window control buttons when the window is in full screen mode? I.e.: I know how to go into gconf-editor:

Code:
gconf-editor --> apps --> metacity --> general --> button layout = ":minimize,maximize,close"
(I've intentionally disabled the menu...)

What I want is my window controls to be on the right side of the window when the window is in full screen mode.

Also I've had an issue with the Unity dockbar glitching out. I can still click on the buttons (i.e. the logout button) but it displays like a nintendo game inserted crooked. Is there a way to 'restart' unity without log out/ log in?

Any one else experienced any glitches with unity auto hiding/showing?

Ubuntu :: ALT+MiddleClick (resize Window) Doesn't Grab Foreground (top) Window

Jan 16, 2011

If you don't know, users are able to quickly resize windows using the "ALT+MiddleClick" key shortcut/combo. Basically, hold the ALT key, and mouse middle click and hold on a window. Move the mouse around, and it will resize the window for you.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1) Open a single Window.

2) Near the bottom-right-hand corner of the window, ALT+MiddleClick and drag. It should resize. Great. It works.

What Doesn't Work:

Now, the problem arises when you have multiple windows open on the desktop, they are "layered". i.e. you might have several windows open "behind" the one currently "up front". Example:

If I try to ALT+MiddleClick the "foreground window", it rarely actually resizes THAT window, and instead jumps one of the windows from behind to the front, and resizes that one instead!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1) Open 3x gnome-terminal windows and say some nautilus window. Place them overtop one another. (like the above image)

2) Try to ALT+MiddleClick the foreground window.

3) Repeat this always trying to grab the foreground window.

For me, the window manager seems to bring some window from the background to the front! Desktop Recording of the Problem: [URL]

Running:

* Ubuntu 10.10
* compiz window manager (the problem does not occur with metacity)
* ATI Radeon RV770 (HD4870) w/ open source Radeon Driver (same problem w/ fglrx driver)
* Versions: [URL]

Ubuntu :: Window Borders Keep Disappearing - Open Compiz Icon To Reload Window Manager?

Apr 23, 2010

I recently upgraded the motherboard/processor on my computer (as in quadrupled the processor and octupled the ram). The new board has a built in GPU (intel) and from searching the forums, I think this is part of the problem. Every time I boot up the computer, I need to open the Compiz icon and use it to reload the window manager before I see any title bars, borders, etc. 've tried the .bashrc hack (metacity --replace), but that doesn't do anything. In fact, whenever I open the terminal, I need to have two tabs open in order to use it, and when I close it all the borders go away again (even when I haven't done anything). Also, the onboard sound card (intel) doesn't work, but that's another task (I at least have a compatible card for that).

Ubuntu :: Click On The File System Icon In The Launcher To Open A Nautilus Window The Window Opens, But Is Unresponsive?

Aug 8, 2011

My system boots, I login and am brought to my desktop. I click on the file system icon in the launcher to open a Nautilus window. The window opens, but is unresponsive (i.e., I can't move it, clicking on the icons does nothing, etc.). If I press the super key to get the dash and the press escape, the window becomes responsive again, just like normal.

If I open a folder in the window, the window becomes halfway unresponsive in that I can't move the window, but I can select more folders and toolbar icons. The top menu no longer appears at this point, and I can't access any of the system icons on the top right of the screen. Alt-F4 closes the window even if the close button doesn't work.As another example, suppose I open a Nautilus window and then a Chromium window. Both are immediately unresponsive. If I super-esc again, I can move the Chromium window around, and it seems to work normally. I can click on the Nautilus window, but it always stays greyed out. Even if I'm clicking on things in it, the Chromium window always has focus.

I had a similar experience to this with VLC and Chromium. After clicking around enough I eventually got it to the point where VLC apparently always had focus, but I couldn't access any of VLC's controls. Double clicking anywhere on the screen fullscreened the video, and that's all I could really do. Not even escape worked to bring it back.I can usually press super to get the dash and Alt-F2 to get a command prompt. Also Alt-Shift-T seems to usually work to bring up a working Terminal (at least one that accepts commands, even if I can't move the window).Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this? The behavior is highly unpredictable and extremely frustrating. I should note that key commands don't always work, even though they seem to in my examples. So I don't think it's just a mouse issue.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 Window List Applet Not Raising Window?

Feb 19, 2010

Fresh install of 9.10 shows buggy behavior for the 'Window List Applet' in the gtk panel.

Usually, clicking on a button in the window list applet does nothing at all. It doesn't un-minimise it, set focus to the window, or bring it to the front.

In 8.10, the window was always raised immediately and given focus.

Sometimes it works, but I've not figured out the state in which it does. I currently have 10 windows open, clicking through them all in the window list raises most of them, but on some nothing happens.

Modifying the 'Window List Preferences' dialog does nothing to fix the problem.

I have checked System->Windows->Window Selection to 'Select windows when mouse moves over them'. 'Raise selected windows after an interval' is not selected.

General :: Disallow Closing Last Emacs Window Via Window-Manager Close Button

Jul 8, 2011

I like to start Emacs as part of a login script and leave it running for the duration of my login session (which is typically weeks).

I have scripts to call emacs-client which will allow me to use a file-manager or Windows Explorer to locate files and right-click to edit them in Emacs.

I often end up with a lot of emacs windows (frames) open and I like to just be able to close them by clicking on the MS-Windows or KDE X button at the top-right.

The trouble is, if the window is the last one, this will shut down emacs which will lose all kinds of interesting history information.

As a work-around I use C-x 5 0 which won't let me close the last frame but this is often not as convenient as using the mouse

Does anyone know how to configure Emacs so that it can intercept the Window-Close button of the last frame to either request confirmation or simply disallow it?

On MS-Windows, disallowing closing of the last window may cause logoff to hang if emacs is still running but I'm not too worried about that.

Software :: Clicked The Download Window Box - And Dont Show This Window - How Do Untick It?

Aug 11, 2010

While attempting to download an epub file, I chose "open with the ebook widget" and to run rather than save and then clicked the box which says "always chose to do this and don't show this window again" (or something equivalent). The operation failed to bring up the file in the widget and the window no longer appears so I cannot try something else, e.g. "save".

How do I recover the original setting? (i.e. untick the box on the window that now does not appear).

I am using the latest Mint on a multi-booted DELL Studio 1740 notebook.
