Want to take compiz-fusion for a test ride?

View original post

If you are running openSUSE 10.2 follow these steps to get test packages of compiz-git, compiz-fusion-plugins and CompizConfig Settings Manager.

Be warned that these are test packages, so package names and many other things will change shortly. For everyday use I would advise not to install these packages and wait for proper release. There is absolutely no guarantee that these packages will work on your system.

1. As root run rpm -e compiz compiz-gnome compiz-kde (Remove previous compiz install completely)

2. download and install yast2-meta-package-handler

3. Fire up konqueror and click on this:

4. Launch compiz with the following command once installation is done (double dashes in front of replace):

compiz –replace ccp &

Start new settings manager:

ccsm &

Select all the plugins you like including “decoration” plugin, Add “your(changethis)-window-decorator –replace” as command string under ‘decoration’ plugin. Set ‘Focus Effect’ to ‘Dodge’.

If anyone has problem using these packages on Xgl, please update Mesa from this repository: XORG72

This is what you would get.

Jakub I am using Tango icons this time around

Edit: Please use the latest yast2-metapackage-handler  from the build service repository only.
