I am loving Beryl…
I installed Beryl on my laptop that I just switched to Ubuntu Linux. It’s quite an eye candy! I am loving it so far.
Before I installed Beryl, I was worried how it will run on my computer – not a very powerful machine by today’s standards. It amazes me how well it works.
The installation was also a piece of cake. I followed the instructions on Beryl Wiki command-by-command. Beryl was up and running in less than half an hour.
Just one note. I tried both ways of configuring Beryl mentioned in the Wiki – one by setting up new session that uses startberyl.sh script and the other that uses the Sessions system preference to add Beryl as a startup item in an existing session. I found that the latter was a much better option – at least in my case. With startberyl.sh, I noticed very unpredictable behavior whenever I started a new session or came out of hibernation.
So, let me go back to playing with the stunning visual effects …
