Compiz-Fusion & Emerald Problems

[rahimveron]

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.:rolleyes:

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?

yep :D

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??

[rahimveron]

Yes it is.

[abhinandh]

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

[rahimveron]

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.
