Guest kanoner Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 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 (English is not my nativ language if you see some bad grammar :P ) [moved from Software by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kanoner Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 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?

dexter11 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
