View 2 RepliesIs it possible to remove the window decoration from a single window, maybe in compiz or something?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi just reinstalled compiz and nvidia drivers and i dont have the compiz window borders.
i have tried
Code:
compiz --replace
emerald --replace
emerald --replace &
with no change in borders.
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.
I installed kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu 10.04 and used 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm' to change it to kdm. Now when I log in application windows are not using default kde decorations, but they use gnome decoration. how do i change it to kde one?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I installed slack 13.37 (haven't used KDE since 2003) and I can't find where to change the look of the window manager itself. I can see the color themes and the "style" settings but no window decoration settings. Am I missing something? See attached png for System Style settings...
View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently 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?
As said in the subject, desktop decoration settings keeps resetting after rebooting. For me it is quite boring and annoying. Why it happens? Ubuntu should keeps my preferences (as in previous versions - my Ubu 10.10, Unity)
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat can be done to make normal windows (gtk, metacity whatever) to look like this( i mean the menu bar and stuff you know in the attachment pics) I scanned the entire gnome-look, and google to make my own emerald theme, but couldnt find any tuts! dont post<a href="www.google.com" >this</a> any normal person does a google search before posting on a thread, trust me its a lot more easier to google than to write a para describing a problem
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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
I need some help. I'm not exactly new to linux but I'm not an expert either. I decided to try and play around with GRUB and see if I could get the GRUB gui and themes working. Apparently I did something and now, when I start up my computer, all I get is code...
I know little to nothing about grub. I will welcome any and all help or advice with this. Let me know if you need any other information and I will try to post it. Also, I have no idea whether I am running legacy or 2. It originally told me I was running legacy and I attempted to upgrade to 2 but I have no idea if it actually upgraded.
I am having a very serious problem! GRUB won't allow me to start up windows 7. Each time I select it from the prompt, I am given a blank screen with only the cursor blinking and mocking me. Ubuntu works perfectly fine, but when I try to mount the windows 7 volume, it tells me that it is unable to mount the location because of an input/output error. I havnt done anything to make me believe I have caused this abd I am in complete shock that this has even happened. Both operating systems were running completely fine and then suddenly, windows won't boot up.

I'm making script for automated compiling of one program which would output builds optimized for many architectures. For clearancy, I do each build in it's own catalogue and list of builds with their respective catalogues would be stored as array. I'm using this guide as reference. It describes making array as naming a variable with additional brackets denoting it's position in array.
In my code, it looks exactly like this:
Code:
mtune[1]="build/mtune/athlon"
mtune[2]="build/mtune/athlon-4"
mtune[3]="build/mtune/athlon-mp"
[code]....
But upon invoking $mtune or any $mtune[x] variable, output is blank, like the variable(s) were never initialized. What am I doing wrong?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

- decoration borders, corners & placeholders all gone!
This happens with every single windows decoration I choose.I use all default settings on the kwin-effects.

I just tried booting SUSE 11.0, but the system stops at the point it shows "initializing random number generator". I have left the system running at that point for almost 2 hrs, with no way to get past that. System isn't locked up. It has never done this before. How do I fix this?I have also tried failsafe booting, but it stops at the same spot also.

I can see the icon on the desktop for it and everything, but when i double click on the icon nothing happens. It also doesnt appear in /media/. If I log out of the user account and log into root, all of the sudden i can open the icon in both root AND the user account. It also shows up in /media/. I'm not sure if its a permissions issue or something else.
ps: using ssh to log into root from another machine makes no difference though, only using X or whatever its called from the physical machine.
I use centos 5.3, the problem is my network is not starting when the machine is restarted everytime, i checked everything in the network scripts, and logs which is indicating dat everything is initialising at boot time, wat and wer will b the problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe code below defines an array of structures in a class. I would like this to be a Static array and then initialize the array in a initialization method. I understand that initialization lists are the way to go but due to the size and complexity of the array I plan on using (the example below is a simple snippet that illustrates the problem) I would like to use the initialization method. However, I cant even get this thing to compile. The error says the reference to the ArrayOfStructs in the initialization routine is undefined.

I made 2 files which are different from the program above one is temp1.h and another is temp2.c to understand how extern is used. So here is temp1.h
Code:
#include<stdlib.h>
typedef struct node * bond;
extern int jk;
and temp2.c is
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<temp1.h>
struct node {
int data;
[code]...
I had declared jk in temp1.h as an extern int so why can I not initialize it in temp2.c?
Kernel 2.6.21.5, slackware 12.0 as 2.17 [I am speaking here about 80x86 processors, with their segment registers SS, DS, CS, ES.] In a source file for as, I wrote
Code:
.section _STACK
.rept 4096
.word 0
.endr
Now, in the .text section, I want to initialize SS, the stack segment, to point to the _STACK section. In other assemblers, there was a special section for the stack, and the linker cared about initializing SS. Here I use a common section for the stack. For a segment such as DS, I could write
mov ax,_DATA
mov ds,ax
But I don't think mov ax,_STACK would do with as/ls.how do I initialize SS?
