For your icon text, you can try the KDE Control Panel's Appearance section. As for Emerald, I still think its because you are using Compiz rather than Beryl...

something new i noticed is that i cant change the themes with emerald...as a matter of fact im not too sure how to change the themes but emerald isnt working

ive ran

Code: Select all

# compiz --replace emerald &
compiz (core) - Error: Couldn't load plugin 'emerald'


and i get that error

emerald is installed but i cant use it to change my themes...man this thing is fun to get working

welcome to SVN huh??

Ein? 'emerald' is not a Compiz plugin , but a separate program that acts a as windows decorator.

You should start compiz thing like this:

Code: Select all

compiz --replace ccp --sm-disable &
emerald &


Cheers,

PS: in my case, it works better if I add the "--indirect-rendering" flag to compiz. Way smoother...

No idea. Given the "reaaaaaally beta stage" of all this stuff I suppose it might due to any incompatibility not resolved yet.

Maybe you should try in the opencomposity.org forums .
