How do I enable Emerald in Ubuntu 8.04?

Question

If it no longer works, what similar application should I try?

Answer 1

Try opening a Terminal and submit the following command :

sudo apt-get install emerald

LUg.

Edit :

Sorry I misread the question 'X' is quite correct.

LUg.

Answer 2

If you already have it installed, you will have to enable the "extra effects" from System>Preferences>Appearance

Then go to compiz fusion settings manager > Windows Decoration. There will be a Command field. In that, type the

command "emerald --replace" without quotes.

Now press Alt + F2 and run emerald --replace
