Ugly shadow

[Lucifer]

Hi

I'm getting this (see picture) ugly shadow on my transparent toolbar. Any way to remove that one but on no others?

Can you show us the xprop output of that toolbar? Open a console, type xprop and click on the toolbar.

Using xprop's output, you can write a window matching rule for ccsm->Window Decoration->Shadow windows that treats the toolbar as an exception.

Here's the output. I stripped some of it where all the dots is because i seriously doubt any of it was needed.

Try rewriting the rule at ccsm->Window Decoration->Shadow windows like this:
any & !(class=Gnome-panel)

Try rewriting the rule at ccsm->Window Decoration->Shadow windows like this:
any & !(class=Gnome-panel)
Which essentially is the same as

!(class=Gnome-panel)

;)

I would suggest

!(type=dock)

though, as this won't rely on the regex plugin :)

[Lucifer]

Thanks maniac used this since i got the regex on anyway.
!(class=Gnome-panel)

So it's the "WM_CLASS(STRING)" and "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM)" that can be used to identify? Is there any other?

[Deciare]

Yes. ^_^ Behold, the complete list (http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=1768)! I'm sure there's trickier, non-straightforward stuff that can be done with it, but those are the basics.

Thanks Deciare :) Bookmarked that list.
