XFCE4 Custom Window decoration messed up

blackout23 · 2012-08-28 14:48:57

Hello,

I'm using the exact same setup and packages on my laptop without problems. Every custom theme for XFCE
that I install ends up with incomplete title bar. This is a fresh arch install. Anyone has an idea on how to fix this?

Kind regards,

I'm having the same issue using the Greybird theme. The strange thing is that this was working a few days ago, but after a new install of Xfce I've now got the same problem.

Same here, but I didn't install anything, just did a simple update (yaourt -Syua) yesterday. This packages were updated:

[2012-08-27 17:52] starting full system upgrade
[2012-08-27 17:52] upgraded gc (7.2-1 -> 7.2.c-1)

[2012-08-27 17:52] upgraded hwids (20120730-1 -> 20120815-1)

[2012-08-27 17:52] upgraded xorg-server-xvfb (1.12.3.901-1 -> 1.12.4-1)

Maybe the xorg-packages are in charge? I've choosen the easy way, selecting another theme

Same here with elementary theme. I think a bug report is in order.
EDIT: FS#31323

Older xfwm themes and the default one seem to work fine.

blackout23 · 2012-08-28 20:04:27

OK now I have the same on my Laptop after rebooting it for the first time in a few days.

My lasts updates

[2012-08-27 18:53] starting full system upgrade

[2012-08-27 18:53] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.12.3.901-1 -> 1.12.4-1)
[2012-08-27 18:53] upgraded xorg-server (1.12.3.901-1 -> 1.12.4-1)

I also think that it's caused by the xorg update. Anything else would not make any sense.
Anyone has the previous package still and can try a downgrade?

I'm using the latest packages and am not seeing this issue. What drivers are you guys using?

I'm using Nvidia GT430 with driver 304.43-1. I don't think it's the driver as I had the same problem with the previous one.

AaronBP · 2012-08-28 21:25:32

May be that the latest Xorg changed the ABI some. I remember reading something about that recently. Try Nouveau.

Indeed everything works with nouveau.
I was also using the latest NVIDIA Driver.

EDIT: Just filled a bug report at Nvidia.

Same problem here, recent update of the nvidia driver seems to be the common element.

oboedad55 · 2012-08-30 02:48:50

Mine seems to be fixed, am using the greybird theme and it looks normal after today's updates.

What was updated? Could you post your pacman.log?

Nothing changed on my end.

A workaround was added to the greybird theme; the underlying bug remains: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31323

blackout23 · 2012-08-30 10:56:18

Ok so his update installed a new version of greybird theme. Only update for me today was glibc.

I'll try to patch my themes too as I don't think Nvidia will fix this very soon.

EDIT: Notified nvidia in my bug submission of the patches made by greybird theme, might help
them pin down what's wrong.

Here's the Xorg bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54168 that linked me here.

This problem CAN be fixed by stretching the 1 px wide image files for your theme (title-1-active.png for example) to 2 pixels in width.
