How to customize Compiz Fusion Animations for Multiple effects, we go deeper into settings and complexity as we progress along during the video. This covers Xfce and Mate but not Cinnamon.
Give Application windows there own open/close and min/max animations, similar for the menu.
Getting down into the settings of Compiz to create custom animations for windows, menus and more.
It takes a little time to wrap ones head around it but once you play around for a while it all makes sense and you start to make the connections of how it all fits together.
There is a hierarchical order with groups of ‘windows’ and/vs individual applications, is Compiz calling just that window or a group that its in. Hopefully once you've seen the basics you can begin to explore further.
This is the deepest that I have delved into Compiz settings thus far and about the limit of my knowledge to date. Most of the animations shown have been intentionally slowed down for the video. I have several other videos showing setting up things such as the Cube and other desktop features on my YouTube channel.

Do at your own risk, especially the advanced non-default animations, however I had no real issues.
This video was recorded using a virtual machine and it even handled the animations rather well.
Linux Mint 21.1 Xfce (Beta) was the donor operating system in the video, Mate desktop should be the same and other Distro's if Compiz is present and has the same settings should function the same however I haven't tested any other systems.
The occasional background noise is mostly my broken seat squeaking...nothing bad happening!
