Problems Installing Beryl manager

^^Have you enabled all the repo?

yes. I have added the repos given at *linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_Beryl_on_Linux_Mint

I downloaded beryl & beryl manager as .gz files from beryl website. How do I install that. I have extracted them to a folder,now what do I do?

AKAIK its because Mint 4 comes with Compiz. I think you need to remove compiz before you could install Beryl... Not sure though..

beryl is already a dead project as it re-merged with compiz to form compiz-fusion.try using Ubuntu compiz-fusion repository.
purge beryl completely using synaptic package manager.

refer *ubuntuguide.org for compiz-fusion help

What Prakash said. Mint 4.0 Daryna comes with Compiz-Fusion.

Thanks guys! I installed Compiz Fusion and set up all the desktop effects!!

btw what do I enable in the compiz manager so that if I take my mouse pointer to the corner of the screen ,it forms a preview of all the windows ?

Extra>> window previews.
it will give this type of previews:

I didn't mean this. I meant when many windows are open & u take the mouse pointer to the upper right corner of ur screen, all the windows that are open are aligned on the desktop from which we can click & select the window we want.

I figured it out. It's the scale plugin

Yeah its the scale Plugin. To get a similar view of al your workspaces with the programs in it Use the Expose Plugin. Refer to the shortcuts in the Advanced Desktop Effect Settings Window.

^alt+tab for expose?

Alt + Tab is not expose. Alt + Tab just lets you switch between programs in the same workspace if IM correct. Expose lines up yopur workspaces and you can click on any of the programs in the workspaces and send focus on it.

my bad! I havent booted into ubuntu,for long time
