I just build compiz from the compiz-0.9.12.1+15.10.20150805 source code on Debian Unstable and gtk3.17. It built fine if I disabled Google protocol buffers, which Cmake lists as giving faster XML loading only. The Ubuntu packages build from this could not be installed because that dependency is not installable right now. My build went fine and ran when compiz was restarted.
Two of the three issues were fixed but one remains: the gtk-window- decorator works fine now, and the transparent calendars and menus in my hacked version of Mate-panel worked perfectly. Unfortunately, issues with CSD applications are NOT fixed, at least not in gtk3.17. I got black borders out to the margin set by the windows rather than compositing of client-side decorated windows. The test program was gnome-disks, it yielded ugly black borders all the way around. By comparison, my normal build of compiz from the older 0.9.12.0 "add- gtk-frame-extents-to-net-supported" source with the "gtk" directory replaced with that from compiz_0.9.12.1+15.10.20150627.1.orig.tar.gz works fine with CSD applications, rendering the rounded corners just fine with normal compositing. Not only that, the build with gcc 4.9 still works even after the gcc5 transition. I will use this until the newest version fixes the CSD issue, I don't know if this is unique to gtk3.17 right now or somehow related to my build not using the protocol buffers. That I will find out when I can install the offending program without removing Inkscape. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1436553 Title: Transparent windows render black with Gtk3.16 and compiz Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Running compiz_1%3a0.9.12.0+15.04.20150202-0ubuntu1 without unity (in mate compiled with gtk-3) and testing Gtk-3.16 I run into serious issues with failures to render certain Gtk Windows transparent. Hardware is AMD FX 8120 with radeon HD 6750 GPU. My theme sets popup windows used by menus transparent, and Gtk application windows with client side decoration (CSD) have transparency underlying the GtkHeaderBar. In the latter case this is what makes rounded corners possible. The transparent popup windows used with my theme to support menus resembling gnome-shell's widgets in my hacked Gtk3 version of mate-panel work fine with Gtk3.14 but due to the window issue get black corners with compiz and Gtk-3.16. Windows drawn transparent with cairo still work, but windows set transparent by GTK usually do not, Changing the window manager to Mutter makes transparency work perfectly. In Gtk-3.14 transparency works in Metacity with compositing enabled, it does not with gtk-3.16. I am not sure whether this should be considered a compiz bug or a Gtk bug, but since transparency works fine in gnome-shell and mutter (as used by shell), I am not sure the GNOME team would consider this a bug they are willing to fix. If nobody fixes this any GNOME application that forces client side decoration (such as the gtk3-demo or gtk3 -widget-factory) will be ugly in Ubuntu unless the client side decorations have square corners.
