Configure your compiz magic lamp to be like the genie effect Mac OSx

To achieve that your Linux magic lamp animation with compiz-fusion to be like the Genie effect in mac osx you have to do the following:

1: $ sudo apt-get installed ghex2

Use ghex2 of the program to open the file /usr/lib/compiz/libanimation.so , as follows..
$ sudo ghex2

Find the line in which you can read: "" magic_lamp_max_waves "3", "and change the number 3 to 0, save and leave the editor ...

Open the terminal again and write:
$ sudo gedit/usr/share/compiz/animation.xml
And look again for: "magic_lamp_max_waves" and change the "3" to "0", and again save and close ...
Attention is not easy to find these items, we must look carefully!

Restart the X-server, through Crtl-Alt-Backspace or reboot, and when you login go to :
Compiz Settings Manager> Animations> Settings effects> Magic Lamp and change the maximum number of waves to "0" and that's it! :)

This patch works with any version of Compiz!
