You can be a Wizard with Compiz Fusion Plugin: Wizard! Wizard is the coolest effect that you can get from the developmental plugins in Compiz Fusion. Here is how to get this cool plugin:
1. You need to have these programs installed and to get them use this command: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-bcop compiz-dev compizconfig-settings-manager build-essential libtool libglu1-mesa-dev libxss-dev libcairo2-dev git-core
2. Next go to your folder that you created /compiz/ which is where you use the following commands.
3. Now lets create the Wizard from source.
4. go into ~/compiz/ and copy this command: wget -O /tmp/wizard.tar ‘http://oreaus.googlepages.com/wizard.tar’
5. Now use this command to untar this tar.gz and also we can get it into the right folder: tar -xf ‘/tmp/wizard.tar’ -C ~/compiz/
6. Now that we have everything we need to keep on going.
7. Now go to the wizard directory: cd /wizard/
8. Now there are only 3 commands left: 1) make clean 2) make 3) make install
There you have it all done and ready to be used. Here are the instructions to enable it:
1. Go to System->Preferences->CompizConfigSettingsManager.
2. Type into the search box: wizard.
3. Click on Wizard.
4. Click enable Wizard.
Now to run this crazy plugin press at the same time: Super W
And there you have it. Screenshots coming later,
