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?

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.

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).

@Chazza: Thanks, I've followed your advice and disabled gnome-compat plugin in favor of the MATE equivalent (I'm running MATE here so I probably should have done that anyway) and installed the Ceti-2 theme from the AUR. It seems to be working fine now.

@ckoresko I know there are a couple of plugins which, used in combination with the GSettings backend, case Compiz to crash - namely the gnome-compat plugin. Perhaps that was your problem. Regarding the gtk-window-decorator theme, it's not necessary to be using the GSettings backend in order to change the theme. The backends option only specifies how Compiz store its own configuration. Compiz will read the Metacity gsettings keys no matter what backend is being used. I will edit the Wiki to make this clear.
