Hi,

great, everything works so far, it's amazing. A GMA950, compiz-fusion, wine, and on top of it Trillian, which actually behaves like all the other windows. Really neat.

The only thing that istn't that nice is that I still have those window decorations around the Trillian windows, and I don't need them. I can configure wine not to allow the window manager to handle the windows, which removes the decors, but then I also loose all the desktop effects on the Trillian windows.

I'm apparently using the Metacity decors, but the fact that in Metacity as a WM it's not possible to disable decors on single applications doesn't really matter in my opinion, because of compiz-fusion.

Now how can I do that, I can't seem to find an option, and the window decoration plugin has this line "Decorations windows: any", but I don't know how to exclude Trillian.

Any idea?

Thx!

in the 'decoration windows' option, you can exclude trillian windows by adding a ! in front of the rule that selects for them (see this guide (http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/WindowMatching?highlight=%28window%29)) e.g. you would place '!(name=trillian)' instead of 'any' (i haven't tested this since I don't have trilian, but it works for my gaim windows)

Very nice! Thanks for that.

But there's still one more problem: If I fill in !(name=trillian) it doesn't just remove the decorator but also wobbly, and instead the Trillian windows move quite choppy. Other effects like transparency still work, but wobbly is messed up. Even if I disable wobbly, the other windows move more fluent than the Trillian windows.
