I have Ubuntu 13.04 with Gnome 3.8.

I installed compiz, CCSM. I tried to activate Wobbly Windows, but it doesn't work. It was working properly on Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome.

Why it isn't working now?

The wobbly windows is a feature not of Gnome, but of the window manager e.g. Compiz. The Window manager in Gnome Shell is Mutter. and this does does not support Wobbly Windows (yet). There is a Gnome Shell extension in beta that allows you to get a wobbly window effect. This appears to be buggy currently and is only a beta.

Gnome Shell support wobbly windows, you can install this extension to get wobbly working.

Gnome shell does not support wobbly windows.

Wobbly windows use the default Ubuntu desktop (Unity). Gnome shell doesn't use the compiz window manager, so you can't configure it using ccsm.

  • @SedSedka Are you using gnome shell? (Looks like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I0g6Tq22gv8/UTN8mrSDhfI/AAAAAAAAOVE/vU79Ekd5_WM/s1600/gnome-3.8-beta-frequent.png) Then yes it doesn't support it. Wobbly windows is a feature of the compiz window manager, which gnome shell 3+ doesn't use. – w4etwetewtwet Sep 16 '13 at 19:32
  • On 10.10 you probably used gnome shell 2 (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Gnome-2-22.png) Which did use compiz. – w4etwetewtwet Sep 16 '13 at 19:33
  • If you want wobbly windows in a gnome DE try logging on to a gnome classic session (if this doesn't appear then install gnome-panel) – w4etwetewtwet Sep 16 '13 at 19:34
