I cannot see the window border after setting the window manager to beryl. This is the output that I get when I turn it on. I would appreciate any comment regarding this issue.

ok, sorry for the double post.. but, i got it working for me.. ^^'' so there just was an update for beryl.. (um for me at least..) and after that there still wasn't any window decorations.. so i thought id try to change some things..(im using nvidia geforce fx5200 btw) and got it to work! heres what i did, real easy:


 >right-clicked the beryl-manager icon at the toolbar
  >Advanced Beryl options
   >Rendering path
     *changed to copy

yeah, i agree, ridiculously easy.. :oops:

I tried this, but i lost the functionality of beryl, any ideas?

Here is the guide I used to install Beryl. I had some border issues as well, but I followed the instructions and everything works now.

i have the same problem, when i maximize my window the border disappear, my semi-fix is:

1) In emerald theme manager chose a theme 2) select edit-theme 3) set radius to 0 4) set left/right to 0

Strange but i can see the border...

Bye

That happened to me becuase i didn't installed emerald... Try to install emerald and emeral-themes

Well, that works but it isn't exactly how I want to fix it myself.
