Can something like this be added to ubuntu MATE or is it already there and I'm missing it.

Adding this is planned, but it's not yet been implemented:

Suggestion of inclusion of compton compositor

It looks like Compton is on the road map, it’s just a matter of when it’s integrated to MATE Tweak: https://bitbucket.org/ubuntu-mate/mate-tweak/issues/9/compton-integration

Suggestion of inclusion of compton compositor

Compton is on the roadmap and I’ve even had a failed attempt at adding it to MATE Tweak. Compton is not a window manager, it is just a compositor, therefore integrating into MATE Tweak requires some thought because Compton needs to run alongside Marco, but not the other window managers such as Compiz. I’ve looked at the Linux Mint implementation and, in my opinion, is not intuitive. So, I need to drink some more tea and have a good think…
