Metacity displayed uncorrectly

[The Wise Dj]

Binary package hint: compiz

I've got a theme with differents colors for dialogs, menus and normal windows.
The fact is that if I'm running compiz, all the windows are of the same color (the normal windows one), if I switch it off, all the colors are correctly displayed.

So, in general, compiz is not differenciating among dialogs, menus, and normal windows.

Moreover, that theme has no lower border if the window is shaded, but, with compiz, that "option" is not considered so I can't see just the title bar.

Could you possibly post screenshots of said colors while running Compiz and while not?

Ok, I've attached the screens as requested.

In the "Compiz.png" image you can see that the "select a theme" dialog is displayed as a normal window while it's color actually is red, as you can see in the "No Compiz.png" one.

I've omitted the screen for the menus (for example gimp ones) because the problem is the same.

In the "Shaded.png" you can see how compiz fails to display the lower border. (Upper part of the image)

Practically the problem is that compiz display all windows as "normal windows" instead of separating menus from dialogs, missing some configurations too.

This is substantially the problem for themes such as Radiance and Ambiance too, since they can't use different settings for different situations.
