Adding new themes and effects to compiz

-paper_cut- · 08-11-2007, 09:11 PM

So i got compiz installed on my ubuntu feisty. Everything is working great, except im' having trouble with some of the effects. How do you have "no wallpaper" Like transparent. You know when you rotate the cube you can see right through it? Thats kinda what i want. Also i've downloaded "bryce_skydome.tar" from compiz-themes.com but i'm not sure how to load it.

it might help to get the gnome compiz manager, but i can't install extra effects either. i also have tried installing more effects in ubuntu feisty, and the only thing i can find is the compiz-extra in the repository, and that adds a few plugins, but no transparent cube or stuff like that.

try beryl. i think compiz is way more stable, and ubuntu is meant to work with compiz, but i know that beryl has more plugins, such as the transparent cube.
