What is Compiz Fusion?

Ubuntu 10.10 , Compiz fusion animations stopped working Help?

• hi ive recently dual booted ubuntu 10.10 with windows vista after seeing it on youtube, i wanted all that cool animation and effects so i installed compiz plus the extra effects and all that everything was working perfectly, all the effects i wanted were working great , but yesterday i tried changing my Animation effects, (minimize, maximize ect.) from burn to something different and now none of the effects will work, no matter what i change anything to nothing works I also recently installed emerald for themes, maybe that is conflicting with compiz?, every other effetcs works, tho (cube ect.), i even tried switching windows decorator back to GTK and nothing? any suggestions on how to fix this????? (also even when i had the animations working, the minimize effect was the only one that worked it would defualt all the others to whatever i set as the minimize effect if you understand , thanks for the HELP

• Answer:

  When you set the effects there is a option to grab the type of windows you want to apply this effect to. The fire effect has it already set but the others are not... I know its a PITA.. But I messed with that too.. I have used the emerald themes without issues the effects.
