Introduction
This page describes installing and configuring Compiz Fusion 3D desktop in Mageia Linux.
Compiz can work well with different Desktop Environments. It also works in XFCE and LXDE.
It probably will not work with Gnome or Plasma. Here we look at how it works with MATE.
Benefits
Compiz fusion offers a way to organize your desktop environment making full use of 3D capablities of your graphics card.
For more background on Compiz Fusion please see wikipdia page.
Assumptions
Here we assume you already have MATE desktop environment already installed and configured.
Install Compiz
/bin/sudo urpmi compiz-plugins-main compiz-fusion-icon compiz-decorator-gtk
Example:
[user@localhost ~]$ /bin/sudo urpmi compiz-plugins-main compiz-fusion-icon compiz-decorator-gtk

Confirm version installed is 0.8.16.1-3.1 (or higher):
[user@localhost ~]$ rpm -q compiz compiz-decorator-gtk compiz-0.8.16.1-3.1.mga7 compiz-decorator-gtk-0.8.16.1-3.1.mga7
Configure Compiz
Run the Compiz Configuration Settings Manager (ccsm) to define the how we wish the 3D desktop to appear.
In this example, we will set a rotatable cube with a workspace on the side faces of the cube. The background "behind" the cube is referred to as the skydome.
First, run ccsm:
ccsm
or from the GUI: Applications => Tools => CompizConfig Settings Manager
Screenshot:
|
| ____________________________________________ ^ click on: 1. MATE Compatibility 2. Desktop Cube 3. Rotate Cube |
|
Screenshot:
|
| ____________________________________________^ click on: Disable Desktop Wall |
NB: At this point, we are not yet running Compiz.
Start Compiz
/usr/bin/compiz ccp --replace
Alternatively, use the example script compiz_position in Appendix-1:_compiz_position_script (below) which will set out some programs on workspaces in the 3D desktop:
| workspace | program | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | mate-terminal | multi-tabbed |
| 1 | gkrellm | system monitor |
| 2 | ccsm | compiz configuration setting manager |
| 3 | Google Chrome | google-chrome-stable Installing_Google_Chrome_in_Mageia |
| 4 | Mozilla Firefox | (downloaded version not ESR) |
Example:
[user@localhost ~]$ ~/bin/compiz_position stdout and stderr now being written to /home/user/logs/compiz_position_log+ log results in /home/user/logs/compiz_position_log
This is a similar configuration as in the example script: Configuring_autostart_with_MATE_in_Mageia#Appendix-1:_Autostart_script_example_MATE_initrc.
Modify to your needs.
Using Compiz
Change number of workspaces
To increase number of workspaces from default 4:
CCSM => General Options => Desktop size => Horizontal Virtual Size => + (to increase) or - (to decrease)
Compiz keys
Here are some key sequences used with compiz. Most require a setting to be made in ccsm to enable.
If your ccsm does not have a particular effect then you probably need to install additional compiz plugins package.
Here, key <super> refers to what is typically labelled as the "windows" key on most keyboards.
| # | action | keys | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | fire drawing | <super> + <shift> + <left_mouse_button> and drag | check "Paint fire on screen" in ccsm.
To disable: uncheck in ccsm. |
| 2 | snow | toggle snow on/off with: <super> + <f3> | snowing in your desktop
check "Snow" in ccsm "extras" |
| 3 | stars | toggle stars on/off with <super> + <f5> | desktop travelling through stars.
check "Stars" in ccsm "extras" |
| 4 | fireflies | toggle stars on/off with <super> + <f7> | multi-coloured fireflies in your desktop
check "Fireflies" in ccsm "extras" |
| 5 | spin cube left | <ctrl> + <alt> + <left_arrow> | check "cube" and "rotate cube" in ccsm "desktop" |
| 6 | spin cube right | <ctrl> + <alt> + <right_arrow> | check "cube" and "rotate cube" in ccsm "desktop" |
| 7 | spin cube to specific workspace | left click mouse on specific workspace in workspace selector (bottom right) | check "cube" and "rotate cube" in ccsm "desktop" |
| 8 | zoom out | hold <ctrl> + <alt> and tap and release <down_arrow> use <left_arrow> or <right_arrow> to find workspace |
|
| 9 | rotate cube in any direction | hold <ctrl> + <alt> and hold left mouse button and move mouse | check "cube" and "rotate cube" in ccsm "desktop" |
| 10 | animate aquarium "inside" cube | no specific keys: view aquarium when rotating cube | check "Cube Atlantis" in ccsm "Effects" |
| 11 | Earth globe inside cube with starry night sky skydome | no specific keys: view Earth when rotating cube | check "Earth" in ccsm "Effects" |
Appendix-1: compiz_position script
Example script for positioning mate-terminal, gkrellm, chrome and firefox on specific workspaces on the compiz 3D desktop.
Follows on from example MATE_initrc script example in: Configuring_autostart_with_MATE_in_Mageia
#!/usr/bin/bash
# Name compiz_position
version=13
# Purpose Starts compiz (if not already running) and position software windows on Compiz workspaces
# Follow on from:
# https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Configuring_autostart_with_MATE_in_Mageia
# for when compiz in use.
#
# Positions of windows started with MATE_initrc via autostart
# are lost when compiz is started because compiz uses a single workspace
# for 3D shape "workfaces".
# So, when compiz is started, windows all appear in first workspace/face.
# "compiz_position" puts windows back in pre-defined position for compiz usage.

# Updates
# 2020_04_13 more portable position and resize mate-terminal on 395, added "Tips"
# 2020_04_11 bugfix on 314: with doit, need to use: grep \"compiz\ ccp\"
# 2020_04_11 tidy up code around starting compiz
# 2020_04_11 bugfix on 310: doit grep for s/compiz\ ccp/compiz\\ ccp/
# 2020_04_10 bugfix: s/maxNF/max_NF/ on line 336
# 2020_04_10 add pause after starting compiz so that $(wmctrl -d) will return correct compiz data
# 2020_04_10 Fix for loop for rotations after positioning
# 2020_04_09 Logs to logfile in ~/logs/
# 2020_04_09 Added ccsm in workspace 2
# Assumptions
# o compiz installed
# o wmctrl installed
# o will move windows to workspace/geos based on MATE_initrc conventions
# Tips
# o Disable "splash screen" in ccsm: does not work with compiz_position
# o Determine a window's geometry and size with:
# sleep 3 && xdotool getwindowfocus getwindowgeometry
# Acknowledgements

cat <<eeooff
${cmd} starts compiz (if not already running) and re-positions mate-terminal, gkrellm, ccsm, chrome and firefox at pre-defined workspaces (as were in MATE without compiz)
Can also be used to restart compiz.
