goto beryl settings manager-->Extras--> check on water effects.

shortcuts for making shortcuts of watter effect where cursor is pointing == ctrl + superkey/window key.

shift +f9 == multiple water effect
shift + f8 == erasing water effect.
if u want even windows water effect then
beryl settings manager-->Extras--> water effects-->window wave, check all.

settings manager > cube. for the background set a skydome. also, i suggest using avant window navigator instead of kiba dock. thats more stable.

^^ Yep I was wondering about the same. I used Beryl and someone suggested Compiz.. and I was not disappointed. Compiz-Fusion is much stable than breyl and the effects are also very smooth compared to beryl. Also most of the settings are very similar if not the same.

I believe AIGLX works fine with radeon driver.
And XGL should work with fglrx driver, but I am not sure if fglrx is well supported by this card.
Just google around a bit, you should find which driver will be better.
Beryl and compiz are outdated, go for compiz-fusion.

those who r installing beryl or compiz, dont go for either of them, instead install compiz-fusion.

What can I install on my old rig with 2Ghz Celeron with 512 DDR on 845.
Water effect shows me error.

shirish, ur onboard video is not fully supported by the opensourc radeon driver (no 3d, only 2d accel). you'll need to use fglrx and xgl to run compiz/beryl.

stay away from water effect. it won't run anyways. my emperical conclusion says beryl is better for older hardware.

@int86
the normal, window effects (minimize/shadow/wobble), the desktop cube, a bit of transperencies is all that will run smoothly. u may try other effects too and post about ur experience here so that it benefits others. these are the effects which i've seen run smoothly on a config like urs.

@kenshin
goto compiz settings and set the horizontal desks to 4. also enable the cube and rotate cube option.

@shirish
what version of ubuntu do you run? hey jus follow that guide. the only big download is the ati driver. download that article. ur gfx card can be setup offline. goto some cyber cafe and download all the resources. i hope you haf at least one of the composite managers installed. even if not its not a very big download (~8mb or so) which is one time download.

@shashwat
we are still waiting for that wallpaper! :)
