ubuntu: how to disable window snapping
May 4th, 2008
The wobbling window effect is by far my favorite one from the plethora of compiz-fusion plugins. However, the window snap effect can be a bit of annoying sometimes and personally I prefer to disable it.
You may have tried to disable this feature by disabling the "Snapping Windows" plugin, but without the desired effect. Well, this is what you have to do: Start CompizConfig Settings Manager, go to System → Preferences → Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. The find the Wobbly Windows plugin (which should be enabled) and click on it to go to the plugin's setting screen. From the General tab, make sure you disable Snap windows and uncheck Snap Inverted. You should disable them both. It should look something like this:
And now you will be able to enjoy your wobbly windows without the annoying snapping.
