    How to get Emerald window decorator on Trusty 64bit

    If you're like me and like Emerald windows decorator and can't live with out it here's how to get it.

    Just enter these commands. It works well. I tried it with emerald --replace & in terminal and it worked instantly.

    I'm not sure if adding Emerald caused gtk-window-decorator to break or if it was going to break any way but, after I added it to CCSM gtk-window-decorator was no longer in the equation.

    Then I added it to CCSM as shown replacing /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator with /usr/bin/emerald rebooted and it works well.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install git autoconf libtool libwnck1.0-cil-dev libwnck-dev intltool libdecoration0-dev gawk compizconfig-settings-manager
    
    wget cgit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald/snapshot/emerald-0.9.5.tar.gz
    
    tar -zxvf emerald-0.9.5.tar.gz && cd emerald-0.9.5/
    
    ./autogen.sh
    make clean
    make distclean
    ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX} LIBS='-ldl -lm'
    make
    sudo make install
    Afterwards:



    Here is the page I got the commands from here.

    It says it is for Raring Ringtale 13.04 64 bit but it works fine on Trusty Tahr 14.04 64 bit.
