[solved] Compiz niggle? - Nope, 3d Windows!

Okay, so we have a bit of a head-scratcher here... just kind of curious about this...

Compiz with Emerald... The cube starts out kinda huge with no windows open or maximized:

Then we open (or maximize) up a window:

Then we open (or maximize) up another window:

That's all in one compiz session, btw - look at the size of the cube. It appears to get smaller with each window that opens, or maximizes.

Nvidia 7300 GT card, I am having issues with blanking (that's in another thread though).

I do not remember Compiz doing like this? The cube's always stayed the same size for me before when I used it? Any feedback welcome. Thanks!

Wow, turned that off, and now it's just plain huge... like the first screen shot above...

But, it is all one size regardless of what I do now! LOL

If you want it smaller, increase the "Zoom" setting under "Rotate Cube".

Here, have a pretty pic from Scotland...

Edit: So is there a way to get 3d Windows working without that happening with the cube?

There might be a parameter for how far apart the 3D windows are, but I don't know for sure if that's in Compiz since I haven't used it in several months.

If there isn't, you should file a feature request.
