And how do I get rid of these attached windows? They look like "wings"...
This has been happening on all of my machines for like a year now (all flavors of Ubuntu), and I have poured through every menu and cannot find a setting to change this back to the simple sphere.
Any ideas?
Anyone? Anyone?
Beuler…Beuler?
It’s not one of the settings in 3d windows, perhaps?
No, this only happens when multiple “cubes” are selected. Picking “One Big Cube” renders a normal appearance, but in the seam between the 2 monitors.
ANYONE???
A bug?
Compiz never made it to version 1.0. Here is what a Compiz dev writes about the 0.9 rewrite. Notice the mention of lacking multi screen support:
“Porting compiz to C++ wasn’t enough; we had to split rendering into plugins; we had to support the non-composting case; we had to support reparenting; we had to support a replacement for function pointer hooking; we had to drop multi-screen and we had to move to a more up to date rendering model. All at once. We had to understand code that we hadn’t written and code where the original authors were long gone from the project.”
Thanks M - I had read that in my search for a solution, but was hoping someone had stumbled upon a hack that improved the rendering. Even if the “cube” rendered normally on a single screen (One big cube, but not centered, rather off to the left X# of pixels), that would be great.
Does anyone know where the file that sets that parameter is, and what it is called?
Does that file even exist? I think your problem is so specific (dual screen which might not even be supported) that only a Compiz 0.9 developer can give you a satisfying answer. Compiz 0.9 is "legacy" tech, not developed any more.
There is also the Compiz 0.8 branch (Compiz Reloaded) which may or may not be more actively developed. I'm a fan of Compiz, but I realize that Compiz isn't getting much attention these days.
Good luck!
