In Ubuntu 10.04 there was a special option, which provided you an ability to change an animation level in one click. But it doesn't exist in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.
Which parameters I should change in Compiz Manager to set the 'Extra' level?
You can see the image of 10.04:
Instead, now you can customize animations more by using Compiz Config Settings Manager!
Execute this command to install it:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

NOTE:
Yeah, that doesn't exist any more and we have to configure compiz manually from what I know. May be they removed it because of problems that may arise with configuring unity that way, I am not sure why.
Since you are on 12.04 or later, and I am assuming that you have compiz installed, if not use
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
to install it.
NOTE:
From there on you can configure it in different ways as you like. Here are more places where you can read some material/guides on cool tweaks you can do with this tool once you install it.

If you find some feature name not understandable, take a look at compiz wiki and read what that feature does, and then tweak it if you want to. Happy tweaking!
