These are some really slick settings for Compiz Fusion. The focus: taking advantage of all the features Compiz Fusion has to offer to deliver the 'best' eyecandy as weighed by usability, reliability and visual cleanliness & "neatness"
You'll have to try it to get what I mean, but this gives 6 desktops, transparency on move and a LOAD of other stuff.HowTo:
*) open Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) from the preferences menu (in the main menu).
*) Click 'Preferences' on the bottom left.
*) Save a kitten from dying: select 'Flat-file Configuration Backend'
*) create a new profile with the '+' and name it something obvious ('Really Slick (Beta)' for example...)
*) Click 'Import' and browse to the file... click 'Open' and the settings are live.

Already spent countless hours tinkering with Compiz on my own - this would have been invaluable if it was available when I first installed it in Feisty Fawn. More people should make use if the profile feature in Compiz, it'd save a lot of forum posts "How do I get... plugin working?", etc. Good work. p.s. For the less fainthearted, perhaps you should pop a list of the effects enabled/disabled, or a realistic PC spec needed to run said plugins?
Whenever AMD adds support for the HD3870X2 I'll get back into updating the profiles :) Yes, I can put a "Recommended Specs" list or something of the sort on here, but not until I can get in and mess around with it hands-on. :) Thank you for the feedback :)
Yeah, so, 9 months later my card was finally supported, but now I don't even use Linux anymore (X.org should die in a bloody massacre). So... if you or someone else wants to post a system requirements or get a list of all the enabled stuff, be my guest and I can add it to the description. Other than that... yeah... this is pretty much it now.
I like it!
Ty :D That's why I didn't want to hesitate anymore :D I keep changing it but the one I uploaded is where all my other ideas came from... glad you like it! :D
how about a screenshot?
These are Compiz Fusion settings. It's not a "theme," really, so it's whatever your desktop currently "looks" like but with these Compiz Fusion settings.
