The project has recently been picked up + and is being actively maintained by the compiz-reloaded team. + You can still use the 0.8.8 version of the compiz that ships + with Slackware with the companion packages since there has not been + any ABI changes to the code. But there is a good chance you will run + into stabilty issues if you do, so it is HIGHLY recommended you use + the version of compiz that matches the companion packages. Because + you will be replacing a stock Slackware package the SlackBuild is + not hosted at www.slackbuilds.org. You can download the SlackBuild + from the link below. + + https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85079539/compiz-0.8.12.3-SlackBuild.tar.gz + + This SlackBuild is based off the 14.2 stock Slackware SlackBuild so you + shouldn't run into any problems. If you do use this version of compiz you + will need to blacklist compiz in your /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file to keep + slackpkg from reverting the package back to 0.8.8 + +2) Compiz now has basic support for the MATE desktop. You will have to install + MATE before you install compiz for support. The MATE slackware project + website is located here https://mateslackbuilds.github.io/ + +3) The compizconfig-backend-kconfig4 package has been removed from the + project so if you are upgrading from a previous version you will want + to remove this package. Also compiz-plugins-unsupported has now been + renamed to compiz-plugins-experimental so you will need to remove + compiz-plugins-unsupported before you upgrade to the newest packages. + +4) The install order has compiz listed twice. libcompizconfig depends + on compiz, but compiz has some extra window decorator related features + that depend on libcompizconfig. So if you want these extra features you + will have to recompile compiz again AFTER you build and install + libcompizconfig. This is not required it is just an option if you want + to do it. + +5) After you install compiz and the companion packages you will need to + launch CCSM and enable "Move", "Resize Window", and "Window Decorations" + before you start compiz. This way you can manage your windows. After + you enable those three options you can start compiz and customize to + your liking. + + + + + |
