Hello again. We have joined forces with the mate-compiz team and adopted the new name, Compiz Reloaded. We’ve also moved to github<\/a> and Compiz 0.8.12 is ready. Here is the changelog:<\/p>\n

– Add font family configuration for plugins that draw text such as Group\/Tab, Scale Window Title Filter and Workspace Names plugins
\n– Lessen probability of “white glitches” that happen on resize using gtk-window-decorator and emerald
\n– gtk-window-decorator, emerald, ccsm, simple-ccsm and fusion-icon support both gtk2 and gtk3
\n– Fix right click near top edge of maximized windows in gtk-window-decorator and emerald
\n– Add an option to emerald-theme-manager to disable shading when titlebar is scrolled
\n– Rename plugins-unsupported to plugins-experimental and add many more plugins
\n– Change minimum and default amount of waves to 0 for Magic Lamp animation
\n– Add support for a Super Maximize button in emerald (toggles fullscreen)
\n– Various fixes for ccsm, simple-ccsm and fusion-icon
\n– Address vs problem more fully
\n– Increase maximum Mipmap LOD for Blur plugin
\n– Move Desktop Wall plugin to core
\n– Lots of additional Mate support
\n– Fix crash related to animations
\n– Fix memory leaks in emerald<\/p>\n

The packages can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a script used to install the compiz suite. To use it:<\/p>\n

Step 1) – Install Xubuntu 15.10 or your variant of debian-based Linux distribution with sudo installed.<\/p>\n

Step 2) – Install git<\/p>\n

$ sudo apt-get install git<\/pre>\n
Step 3) – Download the build script set. Optionally omit -b release-0.8.12 to build latest compiz-reloaded master<\/p>\n
$ git clone git:\/\/northfield.ws\/compiz\/scripts -b release-0.8.12<\/pre>\n
Step 4) – Run the INSTALL script<\/p>\n
$ .\/scripts\/go<\/pre>\n
Step 5) – Start ccsm by typing ccsm in the terminal and verify it runs<\/p>\n
$ ccsm<\/pre>\n
Step 6) – 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 7) – Start compiz with<\/p>\n
$ compiz --replace ccp<\/pre>\n
Step 8) – Start a compiz window decorator<\/p>\n
$ gtk-window-decorator --replace<\/pre>\n
If everything is working, then congratulations! You can add ‘gtk-window-decorator’ (without quotes) to ccsm>Effects>Window Decoration>Command field so gtk-window-decorator starts when compiz does. If not, you can ask in #compiz or #compiz-reloaded on chat.freenode.net. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
AUDIENCE: This information is targeted toward those familiar with Linux distributions and FOSS.<\/p>\n
INFORMATION: The script set includes an uninstall script used to remove everything. Run .\/scripts\/uninstall to use it.<\/p>\n
