Window preview is not working in DockbarX

  • 772

I have installed dockbarx using an article at omgubuntu. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/new-look-dockbarx-hits-ppa/. The problem is that the window preview feature is not working.

UPDATE: While running dockbarx_factory.py run-in-window , i get the following warning:

 ** (dockbarx_factory.py:3820): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowState' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (dockbarx_factory.py:3820): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowActions' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (dockbarx_factory.py:3820): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'WnckWindowMoveResizeMask' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
Dockbarx init
Dockbarx reload

    • To use the window previews,you need CompizConfig Settings Manager

      sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

    • Warning: What are some of the issues with CCSM and why would I want to avoid it?

    • Also in gnome enable KDE Compatibility plugin System>>Preferences>>CompizConfig Settings Manager.

    • Once you enable this plugin, in DockBarX preferences goto Applications>>Accessories>>DockBarX>> Preference), on the Window List tab, enable Show Previews.

  2. I've just figured this out myself, so.

    Open Compizconfig Settings Manager (System>>Preferences).

    Navigate to tab "Extras".

    Select "Window Previews".

    Hope this works for you :)
