HI Linuxers got the solution for Linux Mint Mate/ Cinnamon just follow the white rabbit
:
1_ Mate:
1- Solution1: simply go to " Preferences-Desktop Settings" then navigate to "Windows" and check "Use compositing".
1- Solution2: install compiz as follows:
1- install the followig packages:
- compiz-gnome
- compizconfig-settings-manager
- fusion-icon
- compiz-plugins-extra
- libdecoration0-dev
2- In terminal run "compiz --replace" or run Compiz Fusion Icon and choose compiz as your window manager.
3- Go to Startup Applications click on add and in the name field write "compiz" and in the command field enter "compiz --replace"(without the punctuation) click on Add again then Close. This is to make compiz start automatically on next logins.
4- To stop that high CPU usage run in terminal “mateconf-editor”. When the editor opens go to /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager and replace "marco" with "compiz".
3- install "dconf-editor" by runnig in terminal:
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
Then press ALT + F2 and run: "dconf-editor", navigate to org > gnome > desktop > vm > preferences and change the "theme" value from "Adwaita" to any other installed theme you want. Remember this because in the same place you can also change the window button layout, among others.
2_Cinnamon:
I- instructions:
1- change own_window_type to dock so it looks like this : own_window_type dock
Don't panic when you see your conky alignment messed up( it will move to your left)
. Just go to step 2.
2- finetune gap_x and gap_y.
I set them like this myself:
gap_x 1030
gap_y 20
3- comment alignment by adding # beforeso it looks like this:
#alignment top_left
II- Sample conkyrc:
