Make Ubuntu look like mac osX

Question

I have 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have installed the latest version of Macbuntu, but it does not have the advanced mac os X efffects. I want my desktop to have the effects like the one in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkN-gEUnICI

I am new to Ubuntu so please answer in full detail.

Your help will be appreciated.

P.S. : The uploader of the video says that he has used some hacks and I too am ready to do so.

When looking at videos like that, always remember to check the date. Just a note.

That being said, what you are looking for (I believe you mean the "genie effect", is called "Magic Lamp", and is available in Compiz. First you must install compizconfig-settings-manager:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Then, run ccsm, go to "animations" and change your relevant animations to "Magic lamp". Obligatory Shot Of Screen

i cannot edit ccsm. As soon as I tick the animations, it becomes unticked. I cannot view the options in the animations too. – Aliabbas Merchant Nov 08 '14 at 16:24
Would it be possible for you to take a screenshot or record a video of this? – RolandiXor Nov 08 '14 at 23:09
