Hi

I have installed mandriva 2008 pp on my machine. Installed compiz-fusion with emerald theme manager via the control center. Compiz-fusion is working, and emerald starts, but I am not able to change any themes. I have tried to doubleclick on themes but i looks like I can not choose any of them.

Any suggestions

How do you know Emerald starts? By default the window decorator matching to your DE starts in Mandriva (Heliodor for GNOME and Aquamarine for KDE).

My mistake, it is emerald-theme-manager which starts. But I just got a problem with no window decorations, which gave me an error message saying kwd has a problem. I guess this means I don't use emerald after all. Anyone know how I can change?

According to a Bugzilla post you can change it in ccsm (CompizConfig) under "Window Decoration". I guess you have to change the line "Command" which has "compiz-window-decorator" by default and change it to emerald.
OR
Edit /etc/sysconfig/compositing-wm file.

Edit: yes you can use the first method: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandr..._replaces_Beryl

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for Kudos to you man
