Override - Option value assignments

[oomingmak]

I want to make an override exception to an effect that I am using for window closing animations.

Can anyone please tell me where can I find a list of the correct naming for the various parameters that I can use?

Hovering my mouse over the 'Options' text box on the edit dialog pops up a tooltip that gives examples for the fire effect (e.g. fire_colour=0080ffff or fire_smoke=1 etc.) but I can't find a list of all the available parameters for other effects.

I've searched the wiki but can't seem to find any relevant info.

I tried guessing the parameter name based on how its displayed in the plugin's configuration dialog, but that didn't work.

Hey oomingmak,
If you are referring to stopping one application window from using the close effect things like

(type=Normal | Dialog | ModalDialog | Unknown) & !(name=gnome-screensaver)

also if you open a termina ane type xprop then click the window you want to exclude it will give enough info that you can add in the plugin field

You're right, that's a problem. You can look up the names in the XML file ($PREFIX/share/compiz/animation.xml). I will suggest to print the option name in the tooltip to the ccsm maintainer.

No, I'm talking about parameter override, not application exclusion.

I tried looking in the file that you mentioned, but it was a bit "needle in haystack" and I couldn't make much sense of the content.

Thank you very much. That would be really helpful.
