What I meant was the Gnome human interface guidelines. Gnome usually
hides configuration options to offer a simplified look.
I know you can disable effects in Beryl but whenI tried it a few months
ago it had too many options to configure(you could set up the speed of
the effect, you had many effects for each action, etc). The menu looked
cluttered, and it was more like those on KDE one. Besides, AFAIK beryl
wont use the gnome configuration editor but its own setting manager.

So far the effect i find the most practical would be transparencies (for
use with the terminal) and the cube is nice too. Beryl crashed some
times and I use it my computer to work so I felt back to metacity, but i
recognize that beryl is amazing to show to your friends ;) My 2 cents..
