Hi,

effects with compiz or not.

Thanks,

Yes i have compiz activated out-of-the-box. No manual configuration.
I know about other people in the italian forum with the same problem: http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,176368.0.html

I confirm the same effect on my Hardy with NVIDIA.
Starting yesterday, the window drop shadow change color unexpectedly.
It is nor "pink" like the attached image.

Yes, i have the same problem too.
The color of the windows shadows changes after any reboot or any time that i restart gdm; i used compiz fusion, with nvidia driver grafics.
Some times the color is light yellow, some times is pink.
i hope there's a way to solve this little problem

many thanks
