Compiz Fusion Uses and Effects

[TheCkyrocker]

I love Linux animations <3

[chuasmare22]

u are gay. u watch that is the gay(70) show.

[TheDarkRuler75]

1 of the best reasons why i like linux!

Free+Dom!!!

[deandezember]

From 0.03 how to setting like this

[Fgafmi]

That's great! Thanks for the video! Still 13 guys will be killed by Dokuro-chan!

[vapourmile]

I'm not crazy about this. I use Linux, but all Compiz really does when it comes down to it is allow window to become textures.

[S0RREN]

If you realize how huge was microsoft marketing campain about Vista 3D, with was basicly pimped alt + tab function. and ubuntu used to do most of this amazing stuff back there already!

[MrBanifaciy]

WoW! That's cool:D

[sharz7474]

Simply amazed with the beauty of Ubuntu 3D desktop...:)

[TheArnabDas]

this is one of the best demos of compiz on youtube. why would anyone hate this?

[wconstantine0]

@TheArnabDas Who hates this? :<

[TheArnabDas]

@wconstantine0 the people who 'thumbs down'-ed it

[hoppimike]

@wconstantine0 I hate this!!!!

Nah I kid, I love Compiz! ^^

[XSpt]

How did you config that first effect of windows jumping when clicking?

[captainmoonrock]

@XSpt To get the window jumping animation set the Focus Animation to Dodge.

[wconstantine0]

@XSpt It's called Focus effect. The effect name is dodge I think.

[mindtoast333]

@wconstantine0 correct. a favorite yet simple effect.

[kirang2979]

what is the effect called when windows swirls down to or up from taskbar( like a snake) when u minimize or maximize windows

[JayandJenn07]

How did you get the minimize effect to do the vaccume effect? i can only manage to do the magic lamp

[KillerTuxAzteka]

its a litle slow, but i can see iits a really fast computer, you use recordmydesktop, right?

[freesiete]

Wonderful, like it a lot. Very good to link it in my site.

[radsportz39]

slow down your cube spin.

[wconstantine0]

@radsportz39 you slow down your cube spin! No, but really. I want it to be somewhat functional as well. Can't be all effects mate. Go watch a move or something. Heard Inception got a lot of special effects.

[Blackgold520]

[wconstantine0]

[deimossonofares]

Great video and quite professionally made :-)

Spread the penguin message and ..

Keep up the good work!

[wconstantine0]

Thanks! :)

[DeFliegendeHollander]

amazing vidéo ! Nice video, nice wallpaper !

[2point6x4]

is linux better then XP?

[miniCruzer911]

Depends on what you want to use it for. For me, yes

[wconstantine0]

If you like to play commercial games then I'm afraid that Linux is not anything for you. I'm currently using Windows 7. When they day comes that games are distributed to LInux as well. Then Windows can say goodbye.

A very good game right now for Linux is Heroes of Newerth! It's a DotA replication with a lot of improvements.

[TheArnabDas]

also nexuiz. one of the best FPS avaiable for linux right now.

[GudGurus]

@wconstantine0 Wine does make it quite easy to run comercial windows games etc in ubuntu, you just have to make sure your computer is up to date with hardware :)

[wconstantine0]

@GudGurus Well I've dualbooted Linux before when I played World of Warcraft. The difference in performance was huge. If games were developed for Linux then I'm sure the performance would have been better than Windows even. But as it is right now, I don't recommend using Linux for gaming with Windows proprietary games.

[andy16666]

I'm not a big gamer, so yeah, for me it's a lot better.

[sithwalrus]

of course. and vista. and 7.

[orhngazi]

@2point6x4, yeah linux is better then XP.

[kota2223]

@2point6x4 Haha XP is 9 years old... Linux is definitely not 9 year old technology :P

[toxications]

Actually it is... well not 9 years old, but the foundation is based on it, the only difference is that over 10 million users use it. And a small group focus on improving it by using today's technology on editing programs.

[kota2223]

Linux is nothing now like it was 9 years ago. The project began in 1991, so it is approaching 20!

[toxications]

@2point6x4

It's better, it doesn't simultaniously crash, give blue screens, you don't have to pay for it, if you start up, and see the desktop, it's actually done loading, when you installed software you don't have to restart your computer, etc, etc, etc. So... it's WAY better.

[shockman992]

how can it "simultaniously" crash? simultaniously with what?

[toxications]

Simultaneously with the programs you use, or a certain action you do. Or just by doing nothing...

[shockman992]

ok, thnx for clearing it up.

[AngelDrumslave]

@2point6x4 i bet it is now :P

[MrClosercloser]

@2point6x4 yea better)))

[0Anubi0]

@2point6x4: Sure.

[theboywhogotlost]

@2point6x4 Yes! Without a doubt, give it a try! =)

[holmanextremo]

Awesome video and compiz configuration!!!!!!

[Colerosity]

Huh. When I had Ubuntu that was my desktop background too.

[xzaz2]

That 70's how +1

[wconstantine0]

I think the artist's name is NATOarts or something. I dunno. I have forgotten. Try looking in the comments, the name of the song should have been posted earlier.

[aiklarung]

What's the problem on having Windows PC and Linux PC, separatedly?

We don't need to find out how to play game X on Linux, we got XP for that (genuine, or "genuine", it really doesn't make a difference).

[toxications]

Well there's no problem, I'm forced also to work use wubi, because of certain programs that won't run on Linux, and use to much memory on emulated OS. But in a few years all games all have a Linux version ;).

[jamessuperfun]

and the crown goes wild for linux! im downloading fedora liveCD now! i also have mint and ubuntu installed- all on multi-boot!

[T0X1CM4N]

Thanks

[mendozairis]

I remember when I first ran Compiz. Now it's normal for me since I see it everyday.

[electrobussterr]

Only disappointment with Linux is that you cant play any games, unless you buy Cedega. Even with Cedega you cant play all the games you want.

[jaythehated]

I only run Wine and I can play World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike flawlessly so that's all I need.

[StianM1979]

You can't play games in windows eater unless they are written for windows.

That games are written for windows is not linux's fault.

[wconstantine0]

word.

[Azeron1]

lol you can play almost every game with wine.. there was just one game i coudnt run

[wconstantine0]

Liar.

[Slugwhite]

Can run crysis with DX10? If can, I will try.

[brashmadcap]

Was that necessary to say or even relevant? Give up? The answer is no.

[ISAAC7DG]

como le isiste para que el video salga de fondo de escritorio???

[gamertillman]

What is the effect that when window switching everything is viewed through a merry-go-round esk view. how do you configure that?

[Zoolookuk]

I said stable applications. The Linux Kernel is pretty stable, it's the ecosystem around it that isn't.

Don't get defensive, I use SuSE/KDE 4.2 myself. My issue is the sheer number of applications still in a 0.x stage after 3, 4 or 5 years of "development". I'd rather the community focus on core assets for a few years, rather than dancing windows which ultimately don't do anything for productivity.

[walter0bz]

These effects are useless BUT they draw more attention to linux.

They were most likely done by volunteers for their own personal amusement? - and those developpers aren't related to the packages in question.

Nothing to stop commercial software vendors porting professional apps to linux, but I guess it's a chicken/egg situation with the small userbase.

[Zoolookuk]

Nice video, impressive stuff. The question is, why? That's a lot of processing (and development) power spent on visual effects when what's needed are more stable applications on Linux.

[wconstantine0]

Look for the scale plugin in the configuration.

[sploopidy]

I'm getting a new 256 MB video card in the mail tomorrow, I only have 512 MB of RAM and a 1.7 Ghz processor, will Compiz Fusion run smoothly?

[wconstantine0]

I think so. Maybe you should fetch some more RAM, it's ultra cheap nowadays.

[Brausen]

It's the first effect, at 0:04

[ScytheANC]

It's called "Dodge"

You can find it in ccsm->effects->animations->foc­us animation

[Brausen]

How can I get this effect in selecting windows? They kind of jump them.

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

You can tell me how to move the windows without click on the title bar?

[wconstantine0]

Press ALT then click the designated window. :)

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

Thanks

[christi1992]

i have windows 7 on my thinkpad r61i with 2gig of ram and its works great

and on my 2. laptpp with 1gb ram i have ubuntu and its works great too :D

ubuntu & windows 7 rocks!

Windows vista sucks!

[wconstantine0]

That's quite annoying, ya.

[wconstantine0]

Thanks. :)

[rbnwave]

mm like how much system specs would i need to run that stuff? im planning to buy the dell mini 10 netbook, intel atom at 1.6 and 1gb ram, what do you think? would that be enough? i will be using ubuntu netbook remix.. i dont know if that helps..

[wconstantine0]

I'm guessing that it'd work pretty well with those specs, considering that the screen is smaller.

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

Humm... To run WITHOUT problems.... Maybe 2Ghz processor, 1Gb of RAM and a 64Mb video card...

[elias425945]

hey, try whith the ubuntu for minilaptops

[mahendrarc]

Is linux desktop with all these effects means just playing with your desktop and no work at all. I found lack of most professional softwares on linux, except good server. If anyone want to switch to linux just for basic things then I suggest stay with Windows. At least its most user friendly than any other software. I have seen people talk about linux and at home thier whole family uses Windows. Kids cannot use Linux as most high end games are released only for Windows, not linux.

[wconstantine0]

Indeed. No gaming for Linux without hassle, for now...

[thespurginator]

i've been having problems with mine, i have a decent system, but whenever i use any of the effects like cube and wall and stuff it freezes/slows down. down to like 15 seconds per frame. heck, i played crysis on this system when i still had windows and it worked just fine, what is this doing that is any more intensive?

[wconstantine0]

Nothing. I have no idea what kind of problem you have. Might be the graphicsdriver.

[wconstantine0]

In the comments somewhere lol.

4scrape is a good place for wallpapers. Google that shit.

[wconstantine0]

Ubuntu 7.04. So it's pretty old. The clip itself is really old too. Compiz has come a long way since then. I will soon buy myself a Core i7 system and release a massive new video. :)

[auesr]

which version of Linux is this?

[deletethefed]

just make an iso with alchol 120 or some other iso maker, boot from cd and install just like any windows, works way better than windows for most things and with the dual boot option you have the best of both worlds, linux is way easier to install nowadays then it use to be

[xplinux22]

Nice effects!

PS: Where can you get this song?

[wconstantine0]

TPB maybe. Dunno. I got it from YouTubes own archive. You can choose a random song. Since I didn't even edit this clip I had no sound on it. When I saw youtube offered to edit these sounds into my video, I just took some random song.

[RadioScarecrow]

People, you don't need to write any code to install stuff on linux, it's a myth. Look at stuff like apt and yum, they're easier than windows! everything you need in one place! Just realise that it's linux, not windows. Open your brain a bit, please.

[wconstantine0]

Indeed. Linux often even updates your applications automatically when there's new versions available also.

[OZ2YOU]

on my future laptop I will have this OS :) Unix is slick ...but damn pls MAKE AN INSTALLER

[fantomfeltpen]

can i has your wallpaper good sir?

[wconstantine0]

Look in the comments.

[daftherb90]

COOOOOOL, WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT??

[philhickle98]

First off, nice vid, Linux rules all it surveys. What is the name of this song?

[wconstantine0]

Aalborg Fantasy Sountracks - CPU

[wildanimalboy]

It would rule if it wasn't a crazy pain in the ass to install a program without writing 50 lines of code. sigh I don't want to write code. why can't Linux software devs write a goddamn INSTALLER??

[JanusKobain]

The INSTALLER is a human one, FYI.

You think you need one? I seem to agree with you...

[lionbeest]

actually you can use your package manager to do that...hard to explain if you never have used linux. but all you do is type in the name of the application and the manager finds it for you then you clic install. and it's installed. you don't have to write code anymore. that was like ten years ago....

[IcyNami]

How were the Title Texts aligned to the left side like that?

[fareskko]

i love linux ;)

[6r0tt0]

jaja no logro hacerlo funcionar en mi kubuntu...¬¬ quizá sea hora de intentar con suse...

[stankwho]

Is there any way to use adobe software on ubuntu?

[gmoney147852]

how did you get the waves wgen you drag and drop the windows

[UbuntuLee]

That is the wobboly window effect ; )

[aq1sw2de3fr]

What's the snow thinging thing? Is that part of compiz? Thanks.

[wconstantine0]

It comes with the extra package of Compiz Fusion. Google Compiz Fusion Extra or something like that. You're bound to find something.

[ParanoiaToaster]

AMAZING! Is there anything like this for Vista?

[wconstantine0]

I have no idea. Sorry.

[alexmassacre123]

bahah no

[redmistpete]

Yep - there's a Vista 3d cube and wobbly windows program for free - looks quite good too IMHO.

[ParanoiaToaster]

What's it called? And by chance, do you have a link?

Thanks.

[redmistpete]

Yep, no worries its by shock utilities and is called 4 way 3d cube - google "shock utility 4 way 3d cube vista" for the free download. Cheers!

[ne0ngeek]

wobbly windows?

[redmistpete]

When you drag a window, it wobbles around like it's made of Jelly. It's a really nice compiz/beryl effect.

[brainac0cult]

also the most fun. but its a bit useless

[wconstantine0]

Fun but useless. :)

[wconstantine0]

Thanks for all the fav and ratings folks. I appreciate it. =D

[qwertymac93]

which screen recorder did you use?

[wconstantine0]

recordmydesktop

Gl! :)

[rjtremor]

Oh wow. o.o

[63801170]

Why?..... seems like toys for people who aren't working at a computer?

[mynameisnicholas]

don't think about it... just go back to your comfy cubicle and use your windows machine.

[redmistpete]

You're exactly exactly right - it's eye-candy. Like Windows Vista's 3D flip and transparencies and sidebar docklets etc. Surely there's nothing wrong with liking a bit of geeky eye-candy right? Especially when it adds functionality too.

[tomstone123]

only difference is compiz fusion doesn't take up 300mb of ram to run

[redmistpete]

LOL - exactly ;)

[mattattack418]

how much ram does it use then

[redmistpete]

512mb

[redmistpete]

and on-board graphics - would prolly run on as little as 256ram too

[mattattack418]

thats good to know. i'm looking into making an older computer of mine a linux machine just to mess around with it and see if i like it. this seems like a pretty cool config to mess around with

[redmistpete]

Yeah, it's good fun and you don't need to install it to try it either, you can just run it from the CD each time without making any system changes.

[ne0ngeek]

mine uses 47mb lol

[3laserbeam3]

it's not "just like vista", vista is "just like this", this exist since waaay before vista

[redmistpete]

I was defending ubuntu, not vista, so fuck off and read the post which I was replying to, moron.

[Hellow54321]

The minimize effect is under "Animations" in Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (package ccsm).

[crnkmnky]

what was that NASA video at the end? it reminds me of the Smithsonian IMAX

[3LD0m1]

what is your radioo

[JonGordon01]

freaking sweet man. I just started using ubuntu and am fascinated. hopefully I can learn to do that too.

[triniclemist90]

Where did you get that desktop? Can you upload it or provide a link?

thanks,

alex

[Nanotech233]

Wait how did you make the snow apear. I mean i think I seen that in compiz but I do not know the short cut keys to make it work. Same thing for the water.

[tranmere789]

I think Aero users are little bit pissed off now? Think about how hard they try to make it better and surely they will try and try and finally - crashed computers with their pitiful DirectX blunders...

[Ni7ram]

how did you put a video as background?

[Tu23ZS1V]

dued how do you get that thing whne you got somthing down on your srecan and you just put the mous ower it nad it com up a lil box whit a pitcher and show what it is , cna you tell how to do that ?

[14dd5266c70789bdc806]

simple, just use a Linux system instead of your Windows system (Ubuntu is a good choice) and run compiz fusion on it

[canicalaveramc]

incredible effects !!! i use ubuntu 8.04

[kp1401HU]

wow this is fuckin awesome and its freee oh yeah Ubuntu the best!

[PhazonYoshi]

*linux

[kp1401HU]

yes, sorry XD

[bsdslacker]

Among the best explanatory vids, it really shows a lot of compiz's functionality, and you actually get a grasp of what you could do with it.

Thanks mate.

[nookachooka]

these conversations are much nicer than pc or mac videos

[tomshaze]

hahaha... thats so true always telling off each other that ones better

even though linux is kicking both there asses...

[MARTINBENITO]

wow! its this real!

[caseyd4]

Besides expose, I also regularly use transparency (when im working on somethying, its very nice to be able to have the documentation in the background, behind the semi transparent window im working in), negative (if i need to read a lot of black on white text, i use it, since it strains my eyes) and zoom (again, less eye strain). I'm sure I'm missing other features which I use often for more than just looking pretty.

[wataki2]

I dont know which is right for me,out of Ubuntu or Kubuntu or Edbuntu or Ubuntu studio or Compizfusion or WHATEVER(lol)

[tomsixsix]

Kubuntu and Xubuntu are for older PCs, but I believe only Kubuntu and Ubuntu work with Compiz well. I suggest Ubuntu.

[wataki2]

ok,thx,but on a coincidence i got the installation disc for Ubuntu the other day(it took like a month a half to get here)and i couldnt install it cuz i need more RAM...So plz help me with that..Im on an Intel pentium processor 863mhz 128mb

[OliWarner]

The way around this is not installing it via the LiveCD, instead using the "alternate" cd - downloadable from their website.

You don't get to try-before-you-buy, but it should work.

Oh and by the way, you want Xubuntu on a system like that. It will be a lot faster for you.

[wataki2]

So i need a blank disc from some where,Right?????? Help me out(lol),tell me where i can buy stuff like that from a reputable company on line,just fill me in,plz

[Thesupermadman]

Erm...

FREE. DOWNLOAD.

Just get the image from the internet, burn it to a disk and reboot the computer. It's really that easy.

[wataki2]

i have some disk but my computer wont accept them. I guess i cant use CD-RWs???

[14dd5266c70789bdc806]

don't throw the iso files on it like other files, burning programs have special options for iso, like "burn image" in nero

[calrogman]

I used CD-RWs, 2 of them, the computer had a buffer under-run during the first burn, which rendered the first disc useless.

[spoonios]

Actually compiz now runs in Xubuntu (extremely well) although you do have to add "compiz --replace" to the startup programs to get it working when you boot up. Nice video btw, haha.
