Description: A glass version of the default KDE 4.4 kwin style.
*For some reason when using this on a friends computer this theme looked corrupted. Please let me know if you have issues with this not looking right. I suspect earlier versions of emerald don't render it correctly.Last changelog:
1.1 - Hopefully fixed issue with corruption.
1.2 - Made the active title bar look milky to better fit with the Air or Eleonora plasma themes.
1. What's that button near the title and the icon for?
2. Not much an Emerald fan, because of this little thing: To use it you have to keep the terminal opened. Is there any other way instead of "emerald --replace" and leaving the terminal opened?
use "compiz ccp" to start compiz
and use ccsm to edit the window decoration config and fill the blank of command of decoration with emerald --replace
Anyway, there are many solution that depends on the way to enter the desktop and start compiz.
As hurricanek says, the first button puts the window on all desktops.
For starting emerald without the terminal, I recommend installing the compiz fusion icon, which allows you to choose your window decorator via an icon in the system tray.
Depending on your distro, you should be able to use sudo apt-get install fusion-icon in the terminal and then type fusion-icon to run it.
Just type fusion-icon in your terminal and it should show up.
Once you set your window decorator to emerald it should stay as default. You wont have to reload fusion icon until you want to change decorators again.

the first button I think is put a window on all desktop, just as in kwin.

I've installed this, but the icon didn't show up yet. How do I "activate" it?
