Xfce 4.6.1 + compiz-fusion = Awesome!

My window-borders disappear when I install compiz. :P No matter what distribution and DE I use. x(

[ThomasJChoi7]

@EvilPyroCan You need a window decorator such as "GTK window decorator" or Emerald.

[EvilPyroCan]

@ThomasJChoi7 I've installed, and then chosen Emerald as my window decorator in Compiz, and enabled window decorations.

[ThomasJChoi7]

@EvilPyroCan Did you pick a theme under "Emerald Theme Manager"?

How does this compare to Compiz Fusion under GNOME?

i dont get why oyu would use xfce and then install compiz

[flimadkd]

@s3vv4 Just because I can! :) but I dont use it on a daily basis... This is just for demonstration purposes only!

[flimadkd]

I am not sure. I do know though that the RAM usage is really low. I have 4 GBs of RAM and the RAM usage does not go past 200MB. :)

[trancaothai]

what is your ram usage after booting ? mine is around 139~140. xubuntu 10.04

[flimadkd]

i dont know. I use ArchLinux. Sorry

[gychang00]

I will be installing debian xfce, what is the command to install compiz-fusion?

thanks, gychang

@gychang00

Just open Synaptic and search for "compiz". It doesn't have to be complicated. Of course, if you're used to the commandline you'd probably prefer it to using Synaptic.

@gychang00 sudo apt-get install ccsm

[gychang00]

what is that music player?

[flimadkd]
