I really like Docky and I wanted that genie 'magic lamp' effect. So I Googled it and it said I needed Compiz settings and to install it I did 

$ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

it wasn't found so I did some more researching and I can't find it. The closest thing I can find to something compiz was compiz-fusion something. I tried it and it was not it.

So does anybody know where I can get this package? I'm running Crunchbang.

  • Compiz shouldn't be needed for this, you probably found an old post. Compiz-fusion is a fork of compiz, compizconfig-settings-manager is the settings app of compiz. None of these should be needed. What exactly is this magic lamp effect you are after? – terdon Mar 02 '14 at 16:16
  • @terdon the one you'd get with OS X while minimizing a program. – ErraticFox Mar 02 '14 at 20:42
  • Try `sudo apt-get install ccsm`. – terdon Mar 03 '14 at 04:51

I am unfamiliar with Docky, but I think the problem is that you don't have the Gnome desktop and it appears Docky is run within that desktop environment. Crunchbang has Openbox for a window manager but no desktop environment.

See here for a bit more on desktop environments versus window manager: http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2007/12/18/flipping-the-linux-switch-desktop-environments-vs-window-manag/

Take a look at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/docky/ for other possible dependencies you might be missing.

  • Docky is working perfectly for me, it's just I cannot get this effect as it needs compizconfig-settings-manager – ErraticFox Mar 02 '14 at 20:43
