Window compositing in Lubuntu 14.04

[Israel]

Straight out of Compton...
the official wiki is here:
https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki

But to test it, just open the terminal and type

compton &disown (or compton -b )
This gives you the nice default setup

As usual, Arch has a brilliant resource for configuring things..
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compton

You can run the effects you want as a command OR edit a text file.
check the arch wiki for more info when you want to roll through compton.

The text file to save will be ~/.config/compton.conf


Of course you can also read the manual page:
man compton
