Normally, all controls in login screen (button, textbox, etc..) have the current gtk-theme style. But after Compiz crashed (always happen when I enable or disable a plugin), the style has gone (no more transparent button, rounder textbox, or my current icon theme), instead there are ugly Windows-95-like buttons, textbox and unknown-theme icon.

Is this a Compiz bug? How could I fix it?

PS: Im on Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity).

This is my Ubuntu login screen:

The textbox and button are squared

This is the default Ubuntu login screen:

I'm on Dell Vostro 1540 with Intel HD 3000 VGA. At first, my login screen looks nothing wrong. But after Compiz crashed (when I enable or disable any plugin), the login screen looks like the above pictures. So, I don't think my graphics card is the problem.

In Mac os x, I can move all windows to the nearest corner by hitting F11 key. I'm just wondering if there is a compiz plugin works like that.

I know that there is Scale plugin already. But all that I want is something like this.

You'll see, press a key and all windows fly off to nearest corner so I can drag/drop file or do something else on my desktop, then press the key again and all windows fly back.

I've just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my DEll v1450 laptop.

I downloaded and installed XAMPP 1.7.7

After that I created xampp control panel by using this command:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/xampp-control-panel.desktop

File content: 

[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Start/Stop XAMPP
Name=XAMPP Control Panel
Exec=gksudo “python /opt/lampp/share/xampp-control-panel/xampp-control-panel.py”
Icon[en_CA]=/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/devices/network-wired.svg
Encoding=UTF-8
Terminal=false
Name[en_CA]=XAMPP Control Panel
Comment[en_CA]=Start/Stop XAMPP
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/icons/Tango/scalable/devices/network-wired.svg

The file has "execute" permission already.

I tried to launch the launcher in Dash home but nothing appeared after typing my password.

What did I wrong here?

}

Which line (or value) should I change for another color?

I used Xvidcap to record my desktop, but the quality of video was too bad (it lagged so much). I also tried with all output formats that xvidcap support, increase the frame-per-second as much as possible and the quality always at 100% but nothing changed.

I'm using 11.04 (unity) with compiz enabled.

My card is ATI/AMD Mobility 5450 and all drivers were installed and activated.
