It took a bit of setup and cook time but compiz 0.8.10 tarballs are ready now including addons-experimental plugin package. Anyone who has installed compiz before knows it can be confusing so here, I will focus on installing 0.8.10 using the tarballs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 5)\u00a0 –\u00a0 Run the INSTALL script<\/p>\n

$ .\/scripts\/INSTALL<\/p>\n

\"terminal\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 6)\u00a0 –\u00a0 Start ccsm by typing ccsm in the terminal and verify it runs<\/p>\n

$ ccsm<\/p>\n

Step 7)\u00a0 –\u00a0 Enable basic plugins such as Window Decoration, Move Window, Place Window, Resize Window and maybe Wobbly so you know it’s working<\/p>\n

Step 8)\u00a0 –\u00a0 Start compiz with<\/p>\n

$ emerald –replace<\/p>\n

If everything is working, then congratulations! You can add ’emerald’ (without quotes) to ccsm>Effects>Window Decoration>Command field so emerald starts when compiz does.\u00a0 If not, you can ask in #compiz or #northfield on irc.freenode.net using your IRC client or visit wiki.compiz.org<\/a>. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
