Customize Compiz in Ubuntu Gutsy
With nine days remaining before the release of Ubuntu's latest version, Gutsy Gibbon 7.10, everyone's asking how the integrated Desktop Effects will work. So here's the deal.
Unlike Feisty Fawn, Gutsy Gibbon deals with Compiz Fusion Desktop Effects as a default feature of the OS, so they're ready to run on any machine with a supported GPU. But they're not actually turned on by default; you have to enable them. But that's easy enough. Just click System > Preferences > Appearance, and select the Visual Effects tab. You can then choose which level of desktop effects you'd like.
Choosing Extra will give you window wobble and transparency, but you'll have to go a little further if you want the full complement of Desktop Effects. To get them all, you'll need to install a couple of things from the Synaptic Package Manager.
