    enable the "animations" plugin, and set "magic lamp" as the effect for minimize.
    There is an easy way, and a hard way to do things.
    If you're anything like me, you've tried to do things things the hard way,

    and broke something.......

    You can even get it to have a 0 wave effect like what Mac has. They had to remove it due to copyright stuff from Apple, but you can put it back in with a hex editor and a change of a couple lines of code.

    Take a look at this - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/g...iz-easily.html

    I haven't tried it myself though.
