Compiz is a program to create amazing effect in Linux Desktop. Compiz is automatically installed as default in Ubuntu Gutsy. Unfortunately you can only do few effects with it. To set more effect with Compiz you a program named Comfiz Config Setting Manager. You will have a new menu, Advanced Desktop Effects Setting, after you install the program.

Below are my favorite effect setting:
Some my favorite compiz effect.
-
Super + E = activates the Expo plugin
-
Super+Shift = paint fire on your desktop with your mouse
-
Super+Shift+C = will erase the fire paint
-
Super + Tab = activates the Ring Switcher plugin
-
Shift+Alt+ArrowUP = Arrange windows cascade in a workspace
-
Ctrl+Alt+ArrowDown = Arrange windows horizontal in a workspace
-
Ctrl+Alt+MouseButton1+Scroll = Rotate Cube
-
Super+N Negative = Active Window
-
Super+M = Negative Screen
What on earth does the super button do?
Super button is ‘key’ on keyboard with ‘windows logo’ sign. In MS Windows, it’s usually use to open Explorer with combination ‘Super’ key + E.
pak taufan, pakai bahasa indonesia aja ya… 🙂
pak gimana caranya capture screen saat saya jalan suatu efek, misalnya efek cube gitu. kan posisi tangan sedang memencet kombinasi keyboard untuk menjalankan gitu, kan gak bisa sambil klik perintah ‘take screenshot’ kan?
saya ingin berbagi screenshot hasil efek compiz di notebook saya soalnya…
– Jalankan Gimp.
– Click File > Acquire > Screen Shoot
– Pilih Entire screen
– Isi Delay -nya berapa detik (misal 10 detik).
– Click Snap.
– Jalankan effect compiz, biarkan pada posisi itu sampai gambarnya dicapture oleh gimp.
– Save gambarnya.
Mudah2an bisa.
Pak Taufan, sebelumnya salam kenal. Saya newbies alias baru di linux Ubuntu, numpang tanya gimana sih menjalankan dan/atau setup compiz? mohon advisnya. Sya pakai Ubuntu 8.04 gitu kalau gak salah. Trims ya sebelumnya
Syarat paling pertama, graphic cardnya harus mendukung kalo nggak sama sekali nggak bisa.
Caranya buka menu System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects>Extra
Jika optionnya bisa di click berarti compiz bisa dijalankan.
Tahap kedua dan ketiga, bisa mengikuti petunjuk yang saya tulis diatas.
