I have gotten the cube and the cube caps are awesome with trippy
top and bottom graphics and the 4 sides that routate I got some nice
ubuntu logos, but one thing messing around with this i screwed up
and my programs and browser dont have the close x or minimize/maximize
things at the top like in mozilla the file and bokkmarks stuff is there
but the close is and orange part is gone. And I want to add when I spin the
cube , I want to add another trippy image for backround , right now its black , how do I fix that?, also I seen fireworks when closing windows
how do you do that , thanks and I gotta show this off to all the vista users
I just need those 3 solved , take it easy.

For compiz to work you need both a window manager and a window decorator.

Compiz is going to be the manager.
I prefer Emerald as the decorator. You can use kde decorator, or gtk decorator.
Older versions had aquamarine and I think heliodor as options. Not too sure.
I'm a big fan of emerald.


If you have fusion-icon installed, right click and choose the manager and decorator of your choice that is installed.
If you don't have fusion-icon, get it. (sudo apt-get install fusion-icon)

Other trippy background is called a skydome. Look around in the rotate cube options for that.
Also the "fireworks" is under animations. It's called "burn".
