This is something I have been waiting to hear for about five years-- confirmation and explanation of the actual cause of this bug. Thank you for explaining it clearly. This also makes it clear what needs to be done: >If you want the appearance of Unity not being on top then you need to modify the Unity code so that it doesn't draw itself on top, or not draw itself at all under certain conditions. This is what users have wanted to happen all along. I'm sad to hear you aren't involved anymore, as I know you put significant effort into improving compiz. Do you think any of the current compiz or unity dev team would be willing to resolve this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1025535 Title: Unity with transparent desktop cube visible over full-screen applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1025535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
