Hi.... I am new 2 linux...
I installed ubuntu 8.04.... I was unable to start desktop effects from
System->preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects...
I found that i didn't installed drivers for my Nvidia GPU...
I installed the driver provided in the Nvidia site....
I was able to use Visual Effects with 'Extra' As settings....
But i was unable to use that 3D Cube effect...
So i searched and install Compiz Settings Manager... and got it...

Now i installed Emarald... There is an option as "emarald Theme manager" in
System->preferences->Emarald Theme Manager
I downloaded a theme... Installed it... Emarald is showing it but i am unable to use it by any means....
Also when i try to start Emarald by pressing Alt+F2 and using the command "emarald --replace"... I gives the error that the file is not found...

Its because the program's actual name is emerald and not emarald. Note the e in the former emerald.

Code:
emerald --replace
