|
|
Good afternoon all!
I've recently installed gentoo onto an office computer (I've been away from Gentoo for a very long time) with XFCE4, I installed Compiz from the wiki, started Compiz and I have no window borders. I had this issue before and I just can't remember how to fix this issue. Any help is very much appreciated! |

Good afternoon,
You need to emerge emerald in order to get the windows borders right.
Code: | x11-wm/emerald
Available versions: ~0.8.8
Homepage: http://www.compiz.org/
Description: Emerald Window Decorator
|
and then
should do the trick.
If it doesn't work, check on ccsm that emerald is well set as the window decorator command.
Hope this helps |

Got the panel back (seems when I start conky, which is just a black background, my panel disappears), but now I have no borders |

So it seems that I needed to add compiz and emerald commands in the autostart tab in settings manager. No idea why that worked over terminal, or what I was doing different but *shrugs.* My next issue is that it doesn't want to work with conky. |
