Whenever I turn my computer (2009 macbook pro) and log into xfce the windows border are

After manually selecting the theme again in the settings it looks normal, for reference this is what its supposed to look like.

Please replace the oversized images w/ links (the board has a 250²px² limit to keep threads concise) and then please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General (in [code][/code] tags for the same reason)

Fwwi, those are texture errors and likely related to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xfwm#Composite_manager

I've uploaded the logs here https://pastebin.com/ZpSdEA1X
I've also noticed only xfce applications are affected, I couldn't reproduce the problem on other applications (with the exception of xfce-theme-manager which was also broken).

So there's a GT9600M and a GT9400M and one output attached to each (though that's the same internal panel, right), the server runs on the GF9600M
You might want to look into bumblebee or optimus-manager to switch between them I don't think they're capbable of render offloading

xrandr --listproviders

For the main issue, try to remove xf86-video-nouveau and see whether you get the same problems w/ the modesetting driver - check the X11 log, though. Idk whether both (or either) chips are capable of glamor/DRI3 and then you might drop to software rendering.

Did you check whether the compositor is relevant to the artifacts?
