You have probably noticed how the Magic Lamp minimize effect has been disabled by default in Ubuntu Hardy. I'm not sure why this is but it's not that hard to add back.
The first thing you need to do is install the Compiz Settings Manager using Synaptic.
So once you have the Compiz Settings Manager installed, do the following:
1.) System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
2.) Once in ADES, click on Animations under the Effects category.
3.) Let's say you want the Magic Lamp effect for the Minimize action. Choose the Minimize Action tab and click on the Add button below the Animation Selection box.
4.) In the Edit window, choose the Magic Lamp effect from the dropdown menu. Set the duration to 400.
5.) Paste this
Quote:
(type=Normal | Dialog | ModalDialog | Utility | Unknown)
to the Window Match input box in the Edit window and click OK.
6.) Click the Up button with Magic Lamp effect selected in the Animation Selection box to make it the default effect instead of Zoom.
That should do it!
