Nick and Sebastien, the most reasonable solution is to enable the "Custom" option after installing compizconfig-settingsmanager and not just simple-ccsm. The reason why this is important is because if you install compizconfig-settingsmanager and then change the option in Appearances, your settings are lost forever! Basically by doing this, we are not supporting the use of ccsm, only simple-ccsm, which seems silly.
The best solution IMO is to offer the Custom option always there, and if they click it without ccsm or simple-ccsm, offer to install either (with a third option to not install anything, since some people can use gconf as previously mentioned), explaining the differences (ie, advanced vs simple), and then install and launch the appropriate one. Either way settings are being lost without enabling "Custom" for ccsm and I think that is important, I for one have lost all my settings that way at least once by disabling Compiz via Appearance, and then realizing I had no way to re-enable my custom settings. -- [hardy] there's no 'custom' desktop effect profile after installing ccsm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
