Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, the XFWM4 Composite Editor (also known as XFCE4 Composite Editor) is a tool enabling the users to customize the XFCE window manager. It has a simple and intuitive graphical user interface, permitting the users to adjust the opacity, length and height of the windows, and many others.
The latest version available is XFWM4 Composite Editor 2.0, which has been released a while ago, coming with changes.
In this article I will show you how to install XFWM4 Composite Editor 2.0 on Xubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Xubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr and other Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 derivative systems that use XFCE as the default desktop environment.
