i am using compiz and i have just installed Cairo-Dock. I have a minimise/maximise animation that minimises the window to the dock, but I want it to go to the panel like it did before the dock . the dock has become my default task switcher, not just this one but all my compiz animations occur at the dock now (but this and the show window animations are the most annoying)
View 2 RepliesI just installed 10.04 Lucid.There were some animation effects in the compiz config settings manager which were to add extra features such as burn,glide and a whole lot now they are not in this compiz any ideas?
View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing Compiz's animation plugin, only the open and close effects work. When any entries are listed under the "Animation Selection" for Minimize, Focus, or Shade; the animations do not play; and I receive a libnotify error: "Animation settings mismatch in 'Animation Selection' list for __<Minimize or Focus or Shade>___ event."This happens even with the Animation Selection values reset and even the entire Animation configuration reset. I use the Gconf backend, but this also occurs with a file-based configuration. This has never worked for me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSome of my applications use different window types for pull-down menus than what compiz window animation think. This means that I get normal open window animation on these pull-down menus instead of the menu-theme. Inside the CompizConfig you can specify exactly which window types the different animations apply to, and you can use "grab" to probe your window for this info. My problem is that I can't "grab" the info for the pull-down, since it leaves "grab" mode once I try to open the menu (and grabs the info for the parent window instead of the menu). How do I get to know the window properties of the pull-downs, so that I can map them to the relevant window animation theme?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Compiz and two panels - one at the bottom and on the side. Before running Compiz, both of them become visible on mouse hover. After Compiz starts, the one on the side would not show. I have no idea what is causing it. Could it be the cube?
View 1 Replies View Relatedim wondering if there is a way of excluiding icons and text from the transparency of the panel with compiz config settings manager (opacity, brightness and saturation) using (class=Gnome-panel) & !(type=Menu | PopupMenu | Dialog | Dropdownmenu |)or if there is another way to make the panel semi transparent but without making icons and text in it transparent.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can't stand looking at the ugly, off-center, non-themed maximize/minimize/close buttons in the maximized global menu. Is it possible to set a window to maximize *below* the top panel? Or at least to have its set fixed size be its fixed size when not maximized?
Using Compiz window rules I've been able to set a fixed size in some applications (Opera, for example), but whenever I open them, the window automatically opens as maximized. When I un-maximize, it reverts to whatever size it wants, and having to resize my windows all the time is a pain.
When I activate Compiz through the Desktop Effects settings, the top one or two pixels of the top Gnome panel don't respond to mouse clicks. Is this a bug, or do I have to adjust some CompizConfig setting?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI seem to have lost the closewindow cross from my browser tool bar (which is hugely annoying!) - how do I get it back please?
Ive also lost minimize maximise
if I hit F11 then push the mouse off the top of the screen the whole window moves up and I can see minimize/maximixe/close then.
Is there any way to prevent the Unity Launcher from auto hiding as I maximise a window? It takes a few seconds for the launcher to reappear when I point the cursor in the left corner of the screen which is a bit of a delay when I quickly want to multitask between multiple applications.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and everything went fine. No problems other then there is no animation while booting. It just goes to the login screen (ugly tree ) . I have a feeling it has something to do with the nvidia card (fx5200) i am using the 173 driver. Because the screen switches resloutions and no Nvidia screen is showing as in the previous version 9.10. Any ideas on how to fix this?? I did a search and came up with no good answers yet. The Nvidia seems to be working fine everywhere else so far.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 on a new hard disk, and I've noticed that for whatever reason, the animation isn't working on the default Ubuntu splash screen on startup. It does work on the splash screen when I shut down, oddly enough.
I haven't tried to change my splash screen or messed around with resolution settings or anything like that, so I'm not sure what to check.
In an attempt to install Tupi, I downloaded the tar.gz from here. I would've loved to just install the .deb, but it seems that there's only an i386 deb available.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to install the tar.gz package so I was hoping that someone can help me out with that.
Also, say I get this installed from the tar.gz, will updates for the program appear in my update manager?
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and am animating with blender version 2.49b. whenever I try to add anything such as a cube or sphere, it always hangs and I can't close the window without logging out.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've recently switched from Firefox to Chromium for my browsing and am satisfied other than a persistent issue I have with Flash content. Almost all flash animation and video flickers and "stumbles" (especially when scrolling) in the Chromium and Google Chrome browsers. This issue is not at all present in Firefox. Chromium reports it's using libflashplugin.so which I believe is the "system plugin" and not the built-in plug-in.
Currently I'm using the Chromium build available in the Lucid repository, the adobe-flashplugin and ATI proprietary drivers installed. I have tried the Chromium daily build and the issue still persisted. I've considered trying Lightspark but have read that it's not a very "complete" plug-in.I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Flash plug-in available from Synaptic and even updated it directly from Adobe's website.
Since upgrading to maverick, I no longer have a shade animation. It was working splendidly in Lucid, but now, if I trigger the shade, it just snaps up. No nice, smooth rollup that I like. Screenshot attached of my compiz animation settings page.

I also installed the "slick black" theme that I got from gnome-look.org the night before but I customized it to run the Vienna cursor theme. but that drag animation was still working.

I have installed Lucid two weeks ago and I have a lot of problems to configure my video card Nvidia Geforce gtx260. Thanks to the help of ubuntu forums members I have correctly installed it and now I can use Compiz fusion and other amusements.
A particular problem is that as i choose Ubuntu from Grub menu the splash animation I've seen using the installation dvd ramdrive now doesn't start and i am directly addressed to the desktop username/password.
In your view could it depend on my video card? If yes what can i do to make the spash working (plymouth or others)?
I've recently decided to switch from KDE 4.6 to Gnome 3. I've always been a KDE user, since version 2, really. But I happen to really like the new look of Gnome. To me it looks more professional somehow. Very little in terms of distractions.On both my laptop and my desktop, I have installed the Gnome 3 packages through Packagekit and on both machines it runs nice and smooth. There is one difference, though. On the desktop machine, when I lock the screen, it goes to black instantly. On the laptop, it fades to black. I really like the look of the fading animation and I'd like the desktop machine to do the same, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it.
The difference between both machines is that the laptop has an Intel graphics card whereas the desktop machine has an Nvidia 6800 GT, with the proprietary driver running. I followed Leigh's excellent guide to install that driver and it works like a charm. I do have desktop effects in KDE 4, so I know the driver is installed and running. I also am able to run hardware accelerated games in Wine without a problem.Being new to Gnome, especially Gnome 3, I have no idea where to look for these kinds of special effects. The System Settings program seems sort of Spartan and the gconf-editor doesn't show me anything that I can relate to this fading effect.
I want to create 3D animation and also make some big programs. Is python capable of that? or should I stick to C++?
