Graphics effects not available in 11.04 like in 10.10?

Question

I used to like the graphic effects in Maverick. but I cannot find a way to apply graphic effects in Natty unlike Maverick. Were the effects dropped?

Answer 1

You are probably referring to the lack of a Desktop Effects tab in gnome-appearance-properties.

You still can configure desktop effects using compizconfig-settings-manager in the same way, the only difference will be the fact that enabling Desktop Cube would require some extra steps.

• What are some of the issues with CCSM and why would I want to avoid it?

Another tip: In case something goes wrong with the Compiz settings, you can reset them by running this command:

unity --replace

Answer 2

Use in Terminal

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
ccsm

Now configure the settings
