[Lubuntu-desktop] Use xcompmgr in Lubuntu
Hi everybody, i'm trying xcompmgr on my Lxde desktop, and it's very nice! It uses few RAM (2,5 mb on my 64 bit system) and can provide cool fade-in/out effects for menus and windows. I've tried this configuration: xcompmgr -cfC -D 5 then i removed the Show animation during maximize or minimize in openbox configuration manager. the result is simple but cool and can help to remove the Win XP effect that lxde produce (somebody think, IMO lxde is the best gtk DE ever!). Please think about the possibility to include xcompmgr by default in lubuntu.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] ozone2 theme finally fixed!
Le 17/09/2011 23:29, 神癒礁湖 a écrit : It's done! I've found it. Unico engine has a great and annoying bug showing menubar background colour white, like text, making it unreadable (with several themes, believe me I've tested 10 or more with the same problem). Now the theme has a corrected (or tweaked, if you prefer) menubar background for GTK3 apps. And remember I've changed the taskbar buttons too, and removed some unnecessary files, so you (Julien) will need to update everything (even delete the old one's whole folder). I know, this is annoying, but I think it's the best solution. Read the changes list here. Have a look at this screenshot. Wiki updated with the fixed theme (of course). Feel free to test it. Feedback apreciated :) Cheers! -- Great, just tested and it seems to work fine :) While testing, I found another strange behavior. When launching some application (file-roller for example) in a terminal, I have some message like this : Theme parsing error: gtk-bars.css:223:16: Themeing engine 'adwaita' not found It seems that there is some references to the adwaita engine, but I can't find this engine. Is this can't be done with unico also ?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Use xcompmgr in Lubuntu
We did. But using xcompmgr is complicated and can fail. There's a big problem using some apps with it. Try to drag an icon from a window to the desktop and you'll see the flickering. If you do this too many times the Openbox will crash. This is a xcompmgr bug, and its development seems to be stopped. And for using a composite manager we need a nice front-end for configuring it. It's very difficult for newcomers open a terminal and type commands. This is too geek :) Cheers!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Use xcompmgr in Lubuntu
I did some adventuring with xcompmgr too a while ago, and it was almost like if it was not there with the apropriate configuration (on a 730mhz machine with 512 ram) but when i watched the log, just like rafael said, there was a lot of bugs, plus chromium doesn't like this app at all last time i checked. Searching a little bit i can confirm (2 months ago) xcompmgr is not maintained since long time. And for using a composite manager we need a nice front-end for configuring it. It's very difficult for newcomers open a terminal and type commands. This is too geek :) It's a good idea to use this, but Rafael is right :/ -- jpxsat ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Lubuntu-desktop] Up coming adoption
Hi, as ever, we approach full adoption with the mass off a run-away train. Nothing can stop us now :) But, as ever, there are finer points and sub clauses to be met. One being IRC. The majority of you will be blissfully unaware that the ubuntuIRCouncil have had access to #lubuntu as OP's. They now ask that The current list of core channels is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcTeam/Scope - the concept core channel is defined there as well. Now that Lubuntu will be an official Ubuntu derivative, the related support and offtopic channels should be added there. As you say above, the channels have pretty much everything set already. The biggest change that I can quickly think of is that #lubuntu operators should join #ubuntu-ops and idle there once Lubuntu becomes official. -- Juha Siltalahttp://ubuntu.com The alteration being that those who are OP on #lubuntu do auto-join the #ubuntu-ops area and be recognised. If any one wants to chicken out having OP status on #lubuntu, now is the time to squeal. In three days time I will pass on our list to the ubuntu-irc people for them all to be acknowledged. (He did say idle... it is a case of just being there and flying the flag, although we who know DE know that we can be asked onto areas to help out).
