Anyone here well versed in Compiz? I am running Ubuntu Hardy Heron release candidate. I have Compiz installed and working just fine. I have seen really nice screenshots where there is a background (desktop) instead of the black background. I would like to do that, and any other cool effects that you all might know about. I posted over at the Compiz forum and never got an answer. I posted over at the Ubuntu forum and they sent me to the Compiz forum.

There is a search function on the ubuntu forums, and with it I've usually found the solution to most of my problems. There are so many ubuntu users someone will already have asked the question and you can use the answers.
Just be aware that some of the results are ancient, just like some google search results.

I haven't tried the Hardy Heron beta, but I know that the compiz settings manager wasn't included in Fiesty by default. Installing it (doing a search for compiz through synaptic should do the job) will give you a basic feature list and allow you to play around some.
I just got this fixed. I already had Compiz installed. Also had Advanced Desktop Effects Settings installed as well. Had a working cube going too. What I had to do was click on Desktop Cube ->Appearance-> (about 3/4 down the page)->Skydome -- tick the box across from Skydome and bring an image into the box the said Skydome Image.
By the way Strider. Hardy Heron has been released as of today. It is certainly worth taking a look at. I was not an Ubuntu person before. I swore by PCLinuxOS. I think that I will be leaving my Hardy Heron installation on for a while. Everything is working very well. Except my XFi Extreme Gamer sound card. But, I have pretty good sound with my on board sound and my Bose Headphones. I've been told that this driver won't enable the sound card to work with all the bells and whistles, so I guess I will just be content.
