[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] 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.

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
