Install, Build, Develop, Share & Enjoy

Hi Everybody
A lot of times I've been asking myself "Compiz-Fusion, why do you need it for? What is the purpose of certain plug-ins?" etc. Anyway as we all know "knowledge comes with time" After 2-3 months of thinking and researching , it came to me... Compiz is not just a cool GUI & Eyecandy but it is something that can cardinally change your computer life and tech progress.
What? How?
Well that is exactly I would like to discuss here, take it piece by piece, plug-in by plug-in...
So let's roll, shall we?

I've made a short screencast about 4 weeks ago on Ultimate Edition 2.0
For those who haven't seen yet



I've got a lot of requests for installing, setting-up, plug-ins, skydomes etc. Started to reply and... only for last week I've sent over 120 emails with stuff I mentioned above. Anyway, not enough time.

Enjoy & See Ya


PS:
Hey, folks, got something, share it with your friend - it is a good thing
Now I am collecting some other awesome stuff to share them with YOU

Ha... almost forgot a small word on educational level
"Compiz-Fusion"
Compiz Fusion is compositing window manager (compositing window manager is a component of a computer's graphical user interface that draws windows and/or their borders. It also controls how they are displayed and interact with each other, and the rest of the desktop environment. The main difference between compositing window manager and a standard window manager is that instead of outputting to a common screen, programs each output first to a separate and independent buffer, or temporary location inside the computer. The output from these separate buffers is then processed and combined by the window manager, or composited, onto a common desktop. The result is that the programs now behave as independent 2D or 3D objects. Compositing allows for advanced visual effects, such as transparency, fading, scaling, duplicating, bending and contorting, shuffling, and redirecting applications. The addition of a virtual third dimension allows for features such as realistic shadows beneath windows, the appearance of distance and depth, live thumbnail versions of windows, and complex animations) Compiz Fusion is the result of a merge between the old Compiz community plugin set "Compiz Extras" and the parts of the Beryl project that are independent of the window manager core.

The aim of the project is to port almost all of the features of Beryl to Compiz plugins, and continue to write further Compiz plugins. At the same time, Beryl has been discontinued and Compiz will add some of the core changes made by Beryl to the Compiz core.

I'm very happy you're finally onboard and will "feed" us with a lot of your knowledge that will let us fully enjoy this great thing called Compiz-Fusion!
Thank you!

Congratulations again for your mod status.I'm very happy having you here finally.Good luck further.
PS:Now get to work and show us all you know and found.
I want to be honest and confess that the eyecandy and the berryl/compiz-fusion are the things who attracted me first and most to the linux world,before the wellknown linux' stability and solidity.But that was in the begining,later came all the rest and here I am now yet.

well, there is a setting for it with a check box saying something "record sound", sorry, not by computer now so cannot look it up, but if you do not want to play around I'll send you a screenshoot soon... About video...
I did the following:
1: recorded desktop session (without sound)
2: converted for youtube
3: embedded sound
4: uploaded to youtube
5: the main of all - ENJOYED
