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.ph... , 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.

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.

[axmad saugi]

what the name application do you use to record your desktop for this tutorial?

[g0lanu]

i've been using mac 10.7 for the last 9 months. i really miss my wobbly windows and custom chosen compiz effects. its such a shame mac didn't pay more attention to this since a lot of contributors to X, compiz projects are apple employees.

[PapagiannisWoW]

Umm most of the people I know just have cracked windows for free anyway, me too actually...

[jameswalker199]

Uh, are you trying to say that you've ported X org to windows? Y'know, that impossible feat that humanity has yet to achieve...

[Rigardoful]

But but .. You can't even enable them all together, some conflict with one another :D
