Compiz adds all sorts of bling and effects to the desktop.
Compiz can be added to LxPup14.02 (Slacko flavour only) or Slacko with LxPup-by-SFSCompiz is a compositing window manager for the X Window System, using 3D graphics hardware to create fast compositing desktop effects for window management.
THIS IS A BIT OF FUN EXPERIMENT - PLEASE TRY AND USE WITH CAUTION - FRUGAL INSTALL WITH NO PRE-EXISTING SAVEFILE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Some of the infrastructure comes from the Compiz produced by 01micko however I have removed the logic to try and test your system for Compiz compatibility as I wasn't certain it was working correctly.
You do therefore need to make sure that your video and driver have sufficient capabilities to run Compiz - the easiest way may just be to try it.
I have tested on my laptop with intel/i915 and on my desktop with both nouveau and nvidia (both 304.88 and 173.14 versions).
FOR LxPup13.11 see post #27
So to begin for Slacko5.6, you first need to obtain 2 * sfs and the pet attached below.
Download the LxPup-by-SFS sfs - md5sum= fceb71b4fae443101871cb8fd9f54ecb lxpup-by-sfs_S.5.6.04.sfs c. 15MB
Download the Compiz (with Python) sfs - md5sum= 4c20a5596e55ab401362c8f6aefb6922 compiz_python_lxpup-0.8.8.sfs c. 17MB
Save the sfs's in a location where they can be installed (with sfs-load-on-the-fly recommended).
on a pristine frugal install of Slacko5.6:
- 1. install lxpup-by-sfs_S.5.6.04.sfs
2. install compiz_python_lxpup-0.8.8.sfs
3. install the setup pet attached and answer the questions to modify your system
4. activate by clicking the displayed button
5. reboot and create savefile - essential to complete installation
and...I can't find a way to stop gtk-dialog appearing on the panel....
Have fun!! but report any findings....
Cheers
