Note on decorators: I've removed the patch which makes gtk-window-decorator the default. I had originally assumed that the compiz-decorator script from upstream was dodgy, hence the patch, but actually it seems the script is fine – it's the command that starts it that's dodgy. I've now changed the default command to /usr/bin/compiz-decorator. The compiz-decorator script will first try to detect a GNOME or KDE session and if it can't it will then look for emerald, gtk-window-decorator and kde4-window-decorator in that order and start the first decorator it finds. This is good news for emerald users as it means you won't have to change the command to emerald --replace anymore – just installing emerald is enough. It also means that emerald will start cleanly, instead of always replacing gwd. You just need to clear the command field in CCSM -> Window Decoration after updating the package so that it says /usr/bin/compiz-decorator – use the button with the broom icon. Gwd users who have never changed the Window Decoration command don't need to do anything, everything should work just as before. Do let me know if there are any issues.

@SanskritFritz No probs. @korrode, seems to work for me so far. I can't say I've tested it much though, I still won't be parted from emerald. Feel free to do with it what you want, it's all free software after all. :)

I somehow didn't conclude that the directory names would be the most reliable source of the theme names (seems obvious now that i think about it), at some point i'll update the Zenity script to use the same method. Thanks Chazza! (...or just leech your python/tk app entirely :P :D)

Ah now I'm blushing, sorry for the noise.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compiz_Configuration#GTK_Window_Decorator Also see the scripts linked to a couple of comments down which provide a user friendly way of accomplishing the same thing.

Ok, gtk works as default, but that decoration is quite ugly. How can I change it? I don't use Gnome or the like, Compiz is standalone.

This package won't provide the KDE decorator as it's disabled in the PKGBUILD options. The reason for that is that you would have to install the entire KDE 4 desktop to compile it. I don't know whether it would compile against the Plasma 5 desktop but I rather doubt it. You can use the GTK Window Decorator however which uses Metacity themes. Indeed, that is the default option for this package. Just make sure the command in the Window Decoration plugin says gtk-window-decorator. If it doesn't, hit the broom icon next to the text field which will reset the preference.

What do I need for another decoration than Emerald? AFAIK I can use gtk or kde decorations?

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-09-01 10:02 (UTC)

If that one does cause problems, I made a similar tool a little while back that does themes and also does button orders and fonts: https://github.com/charlesbos/my-scripts/blob/master/mcityconf.py It needs python and tk to run.

korrode commented on 2015-09-01 09:09 (UTC)

You can grab the Zenity script from compiz-manjaro that provides a friendly way to change Metacity theme, if you like. https://github.com/manjaro/packages-community/blob/master/compiz-manjaro/compiz-gtk-decorator-theme-selector Though i admit, it's handling of themes with spaces in their name is a little flaky (which is due to inconsistencies within Metacity theme handling).
