Wow! Astonishing. Basically you just have to go to the last tab (visual effects) and set them to "extra": Wobbling windows, circulate through windows on different workplaces and the award-winning cube rotation. Most of them perfectly useless (apart from the circulate through desktop effect), but a show off for people thinking that Linux is gruesome. Finally, if you are on a limited, 16:9 screen estate, you might find that two panels consume too much of the vertical size. You have the options of autohide (let them appear only when the pointer reaches the edge) and to manually hide by enabling hide buttons. Both functions from the same "properties" menu ("general" tab). Have you tried setting up the Compiz effects? Wow! Astonishing.
