After installing OpenSuse 13.2 I used YaST to install compiz settings manager and I have enables desktop cube, rotate cube, and wobbly windows but none of the effects have taken effect. What do I need to do to start using these effects?
What do I need to do to start using these effects?
Normally no compiz.
What Desktop are you using, KDE or Gnome or?
I think Gnome he is using…
From this answer at Ask Ubunt : http://askubuntu.com/questions/112679/enabling-compiz-effects-on-gnome3
Gnome 3 and Compiz don’t work together.
I think you might need compiz-gnome and compiz-gnome-session
compiz should run on gnome3, in principle you would need to replace the gnome window manager mutter with compiz
try running
compiz --replace
TY,
compiz --replace
worked. But repositories are missing the extra animations which is why I was interested. I installed docky and gnome-do to be able to launch applications and switch windows. What I wanted to know is if gnome-shell would work with compiz but it doesn’t. When I replaced mutter with compiz I was left with the windows already opened and no activities menu.
Thought compiz was dead tech ie no longer deloped/
According to this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiz#Compiz_0.9_series
development has staled but hasn’t stopped and there was a new stable release only a few months ago, surprisingly only a user repository holds the new 0.9 releases

Allegedly it’s still been worked on, I remember reading an amusing story on the matter a few months back at Phoronix:
