Beryl Recipes

[RAV TUX]

This is an attempt to archive Beryl Recipes that work. Since the options are so extensive this will be done in pieces as we go along. Other ubuntuforums.org members who use Beryl are invited and encouraged to share your Beryl recipes. In sharing these recipes I hope to increase dialog about specific functions that the individual ingredients bring. Please share your Beryl Recipes.

Here is the beginning of mine, I have to admit I use default Sabayon Linux Beryl settings with exception of the Emerald Theme which I have switched to Orangeglass 0.1 (for now).

Please try and include a screenshot with your recipe. Utilize the Additional Options to Attach Files or post a thumbnail link from an image host.

Not going incredibly in-depth with the plugins, because just enabling them will get something similar to what I have now (http://i18.tinypic.com/350km4p.jpg).

So I don't really know much about Beryl.. what are the best things that it does? Do I need a good graphics card to use it?

I have it running on two computers that have onboard Intel graphics, and it works alright. Water effects don't work, though. (got snow working, see 2nd screenshot)
