http://askubuntu.com – I have read topics of people that what to style their compiz sphere like a planet and set a background image like space. It definitely very good idea, but I have not been able to find a tutorial of how this is done (only some clips in youtube of people who have done this and a plugin, but it is not known to work work 12.04 version of Ubuntu). I have set my settings of compiz manager, so I have a sphere now, but I need some help with the images that I need to set. Has anyone idea how these pictures should be created and who the compiz will concatenate them? (HowTos)

Hello. I installed ccsm yesterday, and spent most of the day having fun with it. Now, everything works perfectly, but my sphere is stuck against the top of the screen (which actually crops most of the top of it), and, no matter what I do, it won't come down. I'm pretty sure the solution must be exceedingly stupid, but I've been unable to find it. Can anybody please help? Thanks in advance. :)

Since Google announced the updated version of Jelly Bean last week, taking it to Android 4.2, folks have been working to get access to the new camera app to use on other Android versions. Much of the desire is driven by the new Photo Sphere function.

Compiz is back in f18 21 weeks 3 days ago

Compiz is now available in updates-testing.

Differents from former fedora packages: -- verion is stable 0.8.8

-- gtk-windows-decorator is droped because all windows-manager which i can use as base for gwd (metacity, marco) are ported to gesettings, in result gwd doesn't work correctly. So, emerald is the default and only windows-decorator.

-- gconf2/mateconf backend is droped Default

Hey guys, im trying to get compiz working Asus transformer tf300t, i dont know if anyones familiar with the install process but its basically mounting a virtual image of a distro, in this case xubuntu.

People keep saying that Compiz is dead. Compiz is not dead. You can still install it on Fedora with MATE, XFCE, LXDE, etc.

I made it fairly straight forward, just copy/paste the commands in a terminal and run them.

Hello, I have a done very few posts since I am with OpenSuse 11.1. I have upgraded to Gnome 2.6 and use compiz-fusion from X11:XGL repo. For a while (I don't know how long), I don't see the expo, applicaiton ring/cover switcher,etc...

Other plugins work with no problem.

Screen magnifier 43 weeks 1 day ago

Back when I used Gnome 2 and Compiz, I grew quite fond of the screen magnifier plugin. When I switched to Xfce, I continued to use Compiz, and all was well. Now I'm using F16 and Compiz doesn't work for me any longer, so I'm using xfwm4. I've tried using xmag a few times, but it's less than impressive, especially when compared to what I'm used to.

Hi! I have installed gnome 2 desktop on my lubuntu 11.04 and compiz is not working. My default display manager is lxdm. Should I install gdm for compiz to work?
