freebsd gnome themes and compiz

[ericturgeon]

With Compiz it is possible to use gnome theme like Ubuntu or we can only use Emerald theme?

That should be possible, if you use the gtk-window-decorator instead of emerald.

Do you know how to do that?

[ericturgeon]

I find that but it doesn't work.

You have to start the decorator after starting up compiz. Basically there are two ways to do that. Either manually by running it from the shell or your compiz start script or whatever:
gtk-window-decorator --replace &

or by using the compiz config settings manager (ccsm) to configure the Window Decorations plugin. The options of the Window Decorations plugin contain a text field, titled Command, there you can enter the decorator commandline directly i.e.
gtk-window-decorator --replace
This way compiz will start the decorator by itself when none is running, and you don't have to do it manually.

And make sure that the Window Decorations plugin is checked in ccsm, otherwise you will not get window decorations at all.
