I have a feeling this is related to opacity/transparence in gtk-window-decorator. I tried killing gtk-window-decorator, and restarting it manually with: /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator --active-opacity 100 --opacity 100
It seemed to help a bit, but not completely. However, the issues were harder to repeat, and I never got the problem of the whole titlebar disappearing, which could happen otherwise. Instead, only on a large, maximized window did I get garbage across the titlebar when hovering over the close and mimimize buttons. I tried to install kde-window-decorator instead, but it failed to run due to some unresolved dependencies. Whatever. I also tried "emerald", which is another compiz window decorator. It worked, but it's not so nice. Oh well. So, for Jim and others: I have at least a workaround: * sudo apt-get install emerald * Go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig settings manager > Effects > Window decoration * Change Command to "/usr/bin/emerald" (without quotes) * Go to System > Preferences > Emerald Theme Manager to change the look of your window decorations. I chose: Edit Themes > Frame engine: legacy, and then on the topmost four (frame and titlebar), I set opacity to 1.0, and changed to color on active windows to something more Ubuntu-like. -- Title bar becomes blank with visual effects turned on. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320651 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
