When I used Metacity, I could drag windows between workspaces using the small icon view of my workspaces. I recently started using Compiz for all the cool desktop effects, however this drag and drop feature isn't working. I use the cube effect for switching workspaces, but I noticed the wall effect doesn't allow it either. Is this jus...
How can I improve the look and feel of my Linux desktop to suit my programming needs? I found Compiz and it makes switching between my workspaces (which is something I do all the time to make the most of my 13.3" screen laptop) easy and look great - so what else don't I know about that make my programming environment more productive/ple...
I'm in the process of planning an application that would make use of the "ADD Helper" plugin of Compiz-Fusion running on Linux. Since I'm just in the planning stages, I basically want to know if it is feasible to use the plugin in a call from an application. The application would theoretically display a dialog box, and black out the re...
I am trying to find a cross linux distribution solution to the problem of making a program have transparent windows. I now there is some methods out there, that take screen shots of the windows underneath and then print them as the background of the image. I would prefer not to uses that method because it likely that i would have video...
I'm running compiz under Linux. I know compiz is able to keep all workspaces running at the same time, so if I want to take a screenshot of an application, regardless of which workspace it is on, what should I do? (Any language.) ...
I'm trying to figure out how to detect when the current user has changed their workspace in Mono. I'm not even really sure how the workspace aspect of Gnome operates. A brief look through Monodoc didn't turn anything up, and I couldn't locate a GConf key that gave me what I wanted either. Update: The method below will ONLY work if Compi...
Is there a command to tell compiz that we want to bring in front and set focus to a specific window? How should we identify the window in that command? The reason behind this question is the following use-case: Suppose we have a wiki to keep notes of anything interesting we find out. It would be very convenient to have a keyboard short...
Several laptops on the market have problems with Linux for brightness controls. However, recently I found out that you can use CompizConfig settings to dim at least a particular window. Many people, however, want to dim all windows. I know Compiz can do this in the API somewhere because look what happens when you do Super + Tab in Compiz...
Hi, There are shadows under all the windows in Ubuntu. My question is, is this done through X11, Compiz, GTK+, or otherwise? Thanks! ...
Hi, I wanted to know how to do this. I realize this is kind of esoteric knowledge, since it's not really necessary. However, it is a topic of interest to me, and I would like to know about it. What I don't understand is how compiz works as a whole. If gtk-window-decorator is just a program by itself (which I believe it is), then how do...
