Compiz Fusion is one of the best things about the Linux desktop and it is really the kind of eye candy feature Linux needs to succeed, but until now there has always been one problem. The default settings manager was way too hard to use (even if you knew what you were doing) and the one Ubuntu Gutsy includes gives almost no customization options. Now, this problem is finally fixed.

Along with the release of Compiz Fusion 0.7.2, a new configuration manager, simple-ccsm, was released. The new configuration manager is designed to have a much simpler interface, compared to the previous configuration manager, which was amazingly complicated. Phoronix has already posted detailed screenshots of the new configuration manager in action and it looks quite good.

Although I am sure further improvements can still be made, this new configuration manager is a big step towards making Compiz Fusion more friendly to everyone.
