Cinnamon - Window borders issue

Hi All,

Struggling to see other threads based on this after spending some time searching so wonder if this is a rare issue or something rather silly I'm doing.

I've installed cinnamon and lightdm as the launcher (tried gdm also, as it comes with gnome-standard-themes).

When I login, the system is operable but the window borders are all 'broken'.

Adwaita is the only selected borders in themes section, looks setup correctly.

Am I simply missing a package?

Thanks,

Jason

Re: Cinnamon - Window borders issue

Ok, think I've self solved.

It's regarding the update to Gnome 3.16 where metacity support looks to be dropped.

Now need to just quickly find a way to make metacity the WM, or perhaps just following the advice here https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4039

Re: Cinnamon - Window borders issue

Correction - Not resolved.

I've attempted downgrading to Gnome 3.14, also to older cinnamon and to gnome-themes-standard 3.14.

Still nothing.

I'm running this on VMware Workstation.

Is anyone else seeing this same issue and can offer a solution?

Re: Cinnamon - Window borders issue

In short this turns out to be the fact I'm using VMWare Workstation 10. If you use 12, OpenGL 3 is supported by Mesa and everything just works.

I have no solution at present for anything pre-WS12 and haven't uncovered a solution after much Googling.

If anyone has any suggestions of things to try please feel free to suggest them. :-)
