To If you have set the visual effects to "'''Extra'''", you will see interesting desktop effects. Unfortunately, some of these effects can be annoying. For example if you move open application windows, they will "''wobble''" - this is neat, but to tell you the truth - I don't like it. You can have the ability to turn-off any effects you don't like. Unfortunately, the graphical program to allow you to change these settings are not automatically installed when you installed the Ubuntu system. You need to install a package called '''CompizConfig Settings Manager''' to change the settings graphically. <u>Here are the steps to install the CompizConfig Setting Manager and change desktop settings:</u> # Click SYSTEM -> ADMINISTRATION -> Synaptic Package Manager.# Enter your user password to confirm you are the administrator.# In the Synaptic Package Manager dialog box, click on the Search button.# Type in the text: '''CompizConfig Settings Manager''' - the package should appear in the application window.# Click on the check box that appears to the left of that application to select that application for download and install. A content menu will appear. Select the menu item called "Mark for Installation". There may be completedan additional window indicating other software applications that need to be installed as well - just click on OK# Click on the "Apply" button.In a few moments, that application will automatically be downloaded and installed on your system.# When completed, close the Synaptic Package Manager application window.
