A while back, I mentioned setting up Beryl on my laptop. Unfortunately, when Beryl merged back with the Compiz project, something broke and I couldn’t get it to work again.
Until today. I heard about a new program for Ubuntu I wanted to try, but it only worked if you could enable Desktop Effects, which is the new official sounding name for Compiz. I crossed my fingers, and sure enough, it worked out. My new desktop looks a hell of a lot better than the default Ubuntu theme. I’ve got the desktop cube going again, and couldn’t be happier!
