This is a demonstration of the Git version of Compiz Fusion (formerly known as compcomm), which is the remerge of beryl and compiz, and some of its interesting features.

There are some screenshots at http://3bix.blogspot.com and http://puttabutta.blogspot.com .

Someone asked me about my system specs: My computer is running an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+ (although I'm using 32-bit ubuntu since it's easier), motherboard is an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, Graphics: 256MG nVidia GeForce 7600GT. All parts ordered on Newegg.com (i made the computer).

These parts were not that expensive, and they run Compiz Fusion (new name of compcomm) VERY well.

And, since people are asking, I chose to film with a camera since I couldn't install the screencast plugin (I get compile errors).. can someone tell me the dependencies for it?

And i used iMovie to make the video, I guess I could have used Kino, but I wasn't sure if it was up to it.

The Song is "Ya Ya" on "The Early Tapes of The Beatles" album. I don't know if it's a Beatle singing, but I believe they're playing in the background.
====UPDATED===
I'm using grey-neu, an emerald theme I designed, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Grey+Neu?content=60824 , and "glossy" in ubuntu, just customized to dark colors.

However, since this video I have found a better theme called Neutronium Unity which includes instructions for workarounds to bugs you get with dark themes.

@KDALove you do realize that Microsoft means MONEY and opensource means FREE right?

and for those programs that U pay for...

GIMPshop, Gimp, Krita, Sodipodi, Inkscape, Avidemux, Openshot, Kdenlive, Cinelerra... and i can keep going...

so good luck doing what you do... couse i will keep on doing the same thing you do... but i pay...NOTHING

@DeShaadman Glad to see someone genuinely interested. Firstly I'd like to apologize for the people being silly and dissing Windows without specific reasons. I use Windows all the time, and for some things, like gaming, there's no viable alternative.

Firstly, Linux is free and open source. This means that you can install as many copies of it as you want, and you'll get updates to the software for free. Secondly, Linux is unbelievably customizable. There isn't really anything you can't customize.

@capj4zombieglitcher man ignore the gz files... the windows equivalent would be a compressed zip of all the source code files, there pretty much for developers. Even though i have installed from a .gz once or twice i want my computer just to work so i stick to deb files and ppa's

[Tao1519]

can you think?

write a program, based on linux, and be famous.

my sentence for all people who read this comment :)

I've being trying to use a dark theme from Equinox Evolution Midnight (or Dusk) but didn't like that Firefox input field (like here on YouTube) ends up being dark with dark text. I don't have to tell you guys that this is bad. How do you fix this? Chrome shows it nicely but I mostly use Firefox.

sucks not knowing anything about linux :/ what the crap is a gz file?? all i know is windws!!! i cant even find anything in the c drive. like on windows find user. everything is shortend i dont know what it is!

Only if Compiz was on GNOME 3.2 it would've been sooooooooooo good

[motdef]

I'm still patiently waiting for the day Compiz can manage minimized windows. I don't mind if the preview is outdated, it's just a pain having to implement another kind of task management when it would be so elegant to manage everything through App Switcher and Scale

@Astaroth7Noches Nope. Not even on windows 8. Its Linux only. We've got the best of all.

[Astaroth7Noches]

excuse my ignorance - This software also works on Windows, or there will be something similar to this for windows 7?

[maw88ify]

@Ali2475 No it's only for the Linux 700 distribution OSes like Linux Mint .

[Ali2475]
