    Emerald help needed.

    I have trolled the forums looking for somebody who has the same issue but cant find anything, so appologies if this is in another thread.

    ubuntu 8.10

    Problem: I have installed emerald twice everything fine except when I load a theme it only changes the window frame not the window, I have tried many different themes to be sure.

    When I query 'emerald' in my terminal I get this response.

    Checking for Xgl: not present.
    Detected PCI ID for VGA:
    Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
    Checking for non power of two support: present.
    Checking for Composite extension: present.
    Comparing resolution (1280x800) to maximum 3D texture size (4096): Passed.
    Checking for Software Rasterizer: Not present.
    Checking for nVidia: present.
    Checking for FBConfig: present.
    Checking for Xgl: not present.
    /usr/bin/compiz.real (video) - Warn: No 8 bit GLX pixmap format, disabling YV12 image format

    Emerald is a window decorator:

    This explains the Decoration plugin:

    From what you posted it's doing what is suppose to do.

    I think what you want is a desktop theme, take a look at this:
