The old "Appearance Preferences > Visual Effects" tab used in the old Gnome2

@lah7 Which animations are you talking about? Are you saying Freely Transformable Windows? I have that problem on my system.

@lah7 Thats really cool to know that wayland can do that :slight_smile:

Erm… he should had typed in a terminal compiz --version to begin with. But, I would wager to say that is Compiz 0.9.

Compiz 0.9, despite it lacking all the extras older users may want is still a very capable compositor and window manager. Though he could still install Compiz Reloaded on there, most people don’t need it, frankly and I have it because I can.

It was the 3D desktop cube that I tried, but other animations like window opening/closing felt a lot smoother in Compiz 0.8 than 0.9.

Compiz from UM 14.04.

True. Compiz 0.9.11.3 with AMD open source driver. I like AMD radeon driver. It's better than nouveau open source driver for Nvidia.

Very clear picture, but the video is somewhat blurred because YouTube compresses 1280x800 to 720p. Spinning the Cube doesn't tax the CPU (maybe 20%). It was Simple Screen Recorder that took all my CPU cycles.
