I don't have this option under System Preferences. How do I get it? I
would like to enable the opacity option.

What I do have is under System -> Preferences -> Appearance ->
Appearance Preferences. On the Visual Effects tab, I have the Extra
option selected.

Thanks!
Phil

Open a terminal and issue the following command:

sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

This will install the 'advanced' menu.

Hello,

Is it necessary to use Compiz for rendering ? It seems that he uses too much memory (310M)* and CPU time.* How can I disable
it ?

Thanks.

310MByte just for Compiz?.... Are you sure about this value? It seems quite high to me...
Anyway, it is not necessary at all, I never use it and everything is snappy and fine
You can un-install it by Synaptic manager, or you can just go to System -> Preferences -> Look & Feel --> Visual Effects and select "None".

Hello,

Yes, 310MB, this is what "top" command shows. Not sure, if the "Top" reports wrong number.

Thanks.

Maybe 310MB of virtual memory, not RAM which is not the same.
Look up for RES and %MEM in "top"
