Hey can you help me out I'm trying to get these effects but everywhere I look ppl say these effects are blacklisted with 9.04. I'm new to ubuntu how do I get around this so I can get these effects working? Thanks in advance...

Hi there. These effects are NOT blacklisted on 9.04 Jaunty LOL :) You need just to install and activate compiz-fusion-plugins-extra :) So.. type in your terminal : sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra , and go to compiz config settings manager. Make sure that Animations and Animations Add-On are CHECKED. Then click on Animations menu, go to Effect Settings button (he's the last one :P) and make sure that "Random Animations For All Events" is CHECKED.

Then you should have all these cool effects. :) If this still doesn't work , type "sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm" in your terminal , and then type "simple-ccsm". You will see a simple windows where you can activate all effects too. Good Luck and enjoy :)

You welcome. Enjoy Compiz Fusion on Ubuntu Jaunty :) I'm warning you, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic will be more attractive :) I'm testing it. Enjoy Compiz. ;)

Thanks! That was really easy actually, yeah I had tried to get help from someone else and they told me these effects were blacklisted but I guess they had no idea what they were talking about lol
