VirtualBox 3 Transparent Background on Ubuntu Jaunty

on Tuesday 30th June, 2009 Gabe speculated thusly…

I upgraded to VirtualBox 3 and then my windows guest went wrong.

First of all, you have make sure the latest version of compiz installed.

Go to CompizConfigs Settings Manager and look for “Windows Rules” under Windows Management category. Enable “Windows Rules” and go to “No ARGB visuals” use Window Class, click Grab and then click in virtualbox window.

    How did you upgrade? Just download?
    I’ve installed from the repos on Jaunty.

    Hi mate, I just downloaded the .deb file from the virtualbox site. Uninstalled the older version first. If you’re running Gnome you can install the new file simply by double-clicking it.
