Deepin Window Effect Error
I am enjoying my Deepin desktop environment, and I love the gestures but I suddenly started having issues with the Window Effect, especially the Multitasking View.
A window always popped up saying the following ->
Kindly Remember: This application cannot run without window effect
And it was weird because it was working properly until yesterday. Also, I don’t remember installing/updating any deepin-de packages; it just started suddenly.
Now, I started googling about it but to my no avail, I couldn’t find any issue like that. Until, I knew what exactly was wrong; the Window Effect was not being enabled.
It all was due to a file called kwinrc
, stored in the ~/.config
folder.
The contents were:
[Compositing]
OpenGLIsUnsafe=true
[Desktops]
Id_1=aed52c85-ca2b-4aa0-8d89-24d12e11e65b
Id_2=2c0089b3-acd9-431f-a37f-592e9f737457
Number=2
[Script-closewindowaction]
BorderActivate=
[Script-runcommandaction]
BorderActivate=
[deepin-chameleon]
theme=dark/deepin
[org.kde.kdecoration2]
library=com.deepin.chameleon
theme=
Anyway, all I had to do was delete the file and restart my laptop.
Here is a link to the Manjaro Forum post which helped me fix it.
