How to make compiz integreted with mxlinux(xfce)

[eid]

i tried compiz with mxlinux(xfce) ,but it i don't like't the window-manger controllers int it(i mean button of mini-max-close). i want to keep the controllers button of the theme of mxlinux(xfce), in linux-mint(xfce) it has integrated with compiz and use the window-manger controllers(buttons mini,max-close) of the theme-manger of xfce

you just need a compiz theme that matches what you want.

linux mint(xfce) when i use compiz it keep the window-manger-decorator of xfwm

are you sure? compiz is a window manager, and would replace xfwm4. mint may well provide a matching theme, I have no idea. but the solution is the same.

I don't know about now, but in the past, if you dug into the folder for xfce's greybird gtk theme [/usr/share/themes/greybird], you would find that an emerald (window decoration) theme that matched greybird's xfwm4 theme was provided by default by the greybird devs.

It is certainly possible for Mint devs to have created an emerald theme that matched the xfwm4 theme for Mint's default theme, though I don't know if that is the case.

It is definitely not a xfwm4 theme. Once compiz is activated as the window manager, you cannot activate the XFCE settings for window manager, including the theming of the same.

Also, under the fusion-icon options for compiz, you used to be able to choose either emerald or a gtk-based option as the window decorator. But there were very few theme choices for that gtk-based thing, IIRC. I recall the only default was some ugly blue thing. Long ago Manjaro created a theme to go with that gtk choice, but they have long stopped all support for compiz.

Again, Mint devs might have continued to maintain this gtk decoration option, I have no idea.

I am guessing it's more likely to be an emerald theme, in my opinion.

[ADDED] it appears that the emerald theme is still provided with greybird gtk theme!

ADDED #2: you could search theming sites for emerald themes that have window buttons you like. There are emerald themes that mimic numix xfwm4 theme. MX's comfort blue GTK theme is based on numix.

There is also an emerald theme called Emerald Edge that is flat and will fit the mx comfort aesthetic.

emerald work good, but i think mxlinux has problem with compiz,gtk- window decorator, but mint has integrated with the gtk-window decorator

MX does not officially support compiz,which is why you get vanilla compiz and have to set it up yourself.

If your statements above are correct (I have no idea), I suppose Mint has chosen to support compiz and provide a gtk-window decorator theme that matches their own theme.

Different distros make different decisions on what to support.
