Please change your window manager with LXSession Edit.

Hi

Compiz Fusion Icon runs very well here. You can easily switch between openbox and emerald. Type in

Code: Select all

cp ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml /home/maces/.config/openbox/rc.xml

otherwise your old settings wont be available.

Can you are more specific? Unfortunately I don't know how can I do..

Code: Select all

[ciropom@cippanippa ~]$ lxsession

** ERROR **: LXSession is already running

aborting...

hi maces! thank you, I made your command but the result are the same... I post a screenshot so you can see with your eyes:



As you see the lxpanel disappear... and my window hasn't the window manager..

[maces]

Oh I see. Make sure you have emerald and emerald-themes installed on your system. That helped me. When you have installed compiz-fusion emerald is not included, afaik.

yes emerald and emerald-themes is installed... if you see in the lxterminal in the pictures, the next to last command is
"emerald --replace".. and it give me a warning that I cannot be able to understand..

[maces]

Oh sorry haven't seen it, was focused on the borders . For my this error says that something with the theme engine is not correct, but I don't relay know. What happen if you choose another theme?

the results is the same.. I've tryed to change settings but the results is the same..

And if I try to install another window manager?
in fusion-icon menu, in the options "select windows decorator"
there is only "emerald" as avaiable window decorator..

Why openbox does not appear? This is linked with my problem?

[maces]

When you use fusion-icon you have to select openbox in the menu "select windows manager". In case this doesn't work (on my machine it does)type in:

Code: Select all

openbox --replace
