Beryl on Gutsy

[shoaibi]

How to install beryl and remove compiz?

[skymera]

go to synaptics and remove al compiz items.

then im guessing adding the Feisty beryl Repo.

just curiosity, why do you want Beryl?

i was thinking of going back to Beryl,
actually going back to Ubu 7.04.

[shoaibi]

well Beryl has much more better themes and looks then compiz, besides that Emerald theme was my only weakness and with gutsy i was left without both. Without which ubuntu isnt the way, i like. I guess i should go back to 7.04 for a while as well... There is nothing special that i couldnt do in 7.04 and am able to do in 7.10...

i have emerald themes.
workng with fusion.
i also agree about the looks, i miss the wobbily windows from Beryl, these CF ones are really...suckish.

its possible to have Emerald Themes, if my brain remembers right.

ALt-F2

compiz --replace -c emerald

Then why don't you use the Emerald Theme Manager?

It can installed using:-

sudo apt-get install emerald

Then press F2 and enter:-

emerald --replace

This is correct, and skymera, you can adjust the properties of the wobbly windows to get them just how you want. Do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed?

[skymera]

yeah i adjusted to make them more wobbily.

but i liked grabbign and wobbiling whilst they were maximised..
dosent seem that possible now >_<
