Compiz (formerly Beryl and Compiz Fusion) is a free, portable and open source software project that has been designed from the offset to act as a compositing window manager for GNU/Linux operating systems. It is in charge of the astonishing desktop effects (Cube, Expose, etc.) that you probably saw on the Internet.
Features at a glance
Key features include support for the latest OpenGL library for providing users with top-notch desktop effects, a powerful plugin architecture that can be changed at runtime and allow anyone to easily extend the software’s default functionality.
In addition, Compiz is bundled with a wide range of effects that will impress your friends, colleagues and family, offers increased enjoyment and productivity, as well as a growing and friendly community of users.
As a bonus, the software includes a graphical front-end, called CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM), which allows you to effortlessly tweak Compiz to act the way you want it to act, as well as to manage, enable and disable effects.
