XGL/Compiz overwriting Ubuntu Themes??

Founder_film · 19 Jul 2006 at 22:50

I am new to Linux and Ubuntu but have been playing around with it a few times. I Installed Ubuntu 6.06 on my PC again tonight but I am having problems with themes and XGL.

I installed my ATi graphics drivers fine and then followed instructions to use XGL and Compiz, I am impressed with it so far however I cant seem to apply any themes properly, when I do some things change but the windows still have the same bar across the top and stuff. Do you guys know how I can fix this?

Also is there a way of just having 1 task bar and not one at the top and one at the bottom? If so how do I set that up?

Thanks

Oh a couple more things, how do I change the XGL preferences and settings? And I tried applying a Firefox theme and that did not work any ideas why?

Thanks again

Thanks a lot for your replies, I will mess around with it tonight.

I have not tried any of the stuff above yet but I was thinking, can you make it so windows do not show a tab in the taskbar (whether it be at the top or bottom)? So the only way to select windows is to click on them.

I have been messing around with stuff tonight, but I cannot find the Compiz Themer under System/Preferences. Where do I get it if its not there?
