At the first time i'm using ubuntu gusty gibbon, i try to configure the most wanted feature on it called compiz fusion, but at that moment i dont know how.I can't find where the set up manager or whatever it called.I opened up Appearance and i can't see anything on it that can be helped.

And that's why i think this tutorial would be very useful for those who's still new with Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon.OK,let's start.

Open up your terminal and copy and paste this code to your terminal and hit Enter!

sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager

If you don't like using terminal, just open up add/remove applications and type "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" in the search bar.Tick it and hit the "Apply changes" button.

Make sure that you have “extra effects” turned on by navigating to System > Preferences > Appearance, selecting the Visual Effects tab, and selecting Custom at the bottom.

Whenever you want to customize your desktop effect, click on System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.
