Who to RGBA support on nautilus

Today i bring to linux Newbies a tutorial of how enable a transparency on nautilus this give your window manger a full aereo look on your linux distribution.

Advisory-This its a experimental tutorial so you use at your own risk

Compiled nautilus 2.22.3 from source with the patches and I have transparency now. Murrine engine and all patchs are not ready, so again install it AT YOUR OWN RISK. You need a composite manager as Compiz fusion or the new metacity. It does not work on Nvidia graphics cards.

If you want this:

First: Install murrine engine svn and install some themes.

Second: Download Nautilus 2.22.3, 2.23.5 or 2.24.1 source. You can download all versions from here:

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/nautilus/

Or download with apt-get:

Sudo apt-get source nautilus

Third: Install nautilus dependencies to compile. In debian or Ubuntu you can use:

sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus

fourth:Replace the nautilus-desktop-window.c and nautilus-window.c into the src folder in the nautilus source.

fifth: Remove your nautilus version.

sixth: Compile and install Nautilus.

./configure
make
sudo make install


Seventh: Restart Nautilus.
