żDoes any body knows how to fix this? I had this problem in 10.10 when I was using Emerald and Compiz... I uninstall Emerald and this is how the windows stays when I clic in visual effects.

Now in 11.04 (I love it) its still looks like that.. And I can't change nothing in compiz to fix it!!!

HELP Please...

I hope the image I added... works...

I have almost the same problem except there isn't a bar at the top at all. You might want to try fiddling with the Compiz settings. It can get complicated though. Go to Ubuntu Software Center and search for Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm).

Can you open a terminal? If you can, run
unity --reset

I take it you upgraded? Go into your home directory and view hidden files and delete compiz and emerald folders. They may be in other directories like .local

@Ominara

I've had the same problem with the vanishing window decorators. I'm waiting for a fix from the developers but in the meantime I use the CompizConfig Settings Manager.

What works for me is to remove the check on Window decorators, wait a little until I can see that the setting is applied and then turn the decorators on again. That got my decorators back. :D

It's a hassle to fix it like this but I don't have the knowledge to fix it permanently. :confused:

Ok.. Don't worry... I thinks it must be something of the emerald that crashed... because when i uninstall it on 10.10 this happened to me... but I clic in no visual effects and the top bar appeared again... now in 11.04 there is no possible of clic in no visual effects and this problems follows me...
In my wife session looks great and no transparent... in my session looks like I posted... Strange!

To be honest with you when I found out Natty didn't come with any special effects I was pretty ticked off.

I've never heard of Emerald.

P.S.: Nice avatar.

Emerald is a themes manager program and gives you the option of transparent borders...

I have a lot of sympathy for your problems, Ominara. If I were you I would try to mess around with CompizConfig Settings Manager or Gunity. I saw there was a Panel Opacity setting i Gunity. Perhaps that would work?
