gnome-settings-visualeffects allows the control of the xcompmgr composite manager, it provides the user with control of the shadow radius,opacity,offsets and colour, and the speed of fades and where they are applied.

Here are some key features of "gnome settings visualeffects":
Splitting shadow configuration into active and inactive windows
Adding a path locator and version checker for xcompmgr/transset
Incorporating window translucency (decided on a minimum of 25%)
Window translucency can be added to active/inactive windows by single windows or window types i.e. File Chooser, applications or application children, and I'm hoping that I can make this persistent.
Increase compatibility with gdesklets
Propose to luminocity developers a configuration standard for these types of settings, therefore improving the future of the project.
Incorporate code from xcompmgr/transset to reduce reliance on what are intended to be demos rather than real life tools.
Notification area tool/Panel applet for accessing effects quickly.

Requirements:
X.org X11 version 6.8 and above with the composite extention enabled.
Xcompmgr version 2.02

What's New in This Release:
This version introduced the new name and also shadow colour configuration.
