Compiz Config Settings Manager

Compiz is native to the Linux Ubuntu OS which acts a compositing manager. It allows for many pleasing effects such as window animations, effects, and of course: the cube. These effects add a very ascetically pleasing look to the desktop environment.

To install CCSM, open the terminal and input the following command:

sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager

This will install CCSM. To access it through the Gnome menu in Ubuntu 8.10, go to System, Preferences, CompizConfig Settings Manager. When you open it, it’ll look like this:

From there, you can activate and change various plug-ins for different effects that you wish to have.
