You certainly can.

It is nothing special, just a bash script that strings all the needed commands together. It is actually kind of crude but it works very well for me, and the end product is great.

The water effect is a part of XGL, Crt+Windows key and then clicking or dragging the mouse crates the efect.

Default plugin keyboard shortcuts for XGL/Compiz

There are many configuration options under Compiz->General->Screen0->Options.

* Switch windows = Alt + Tab
* Arrange and View All Windows = Moving the pointer to the top right screen corner turns on or off; clicking a window will zoom it to the front
* Switch desktops on cube = Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right Arrow
* Switch desktops on cube - with active window following = Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Left/Right Arrow
* Rotate cube manually = Ctrl + Alt + left-click and grab an empty desktopspace.
* Make window translucent/opaque = possible with the "transset" utility or Alt + wheel mouse
* Zoom-in once = Super-key right-click
* Zoom-in manually = Super-key + wheel mouse up
* Zoom-out manually = Super-key + wheel mouse down
* Move window = Alt + left-click
* Snap Move window (will stick to borders) = Ctrl + Shift + left-click
* Resize window = Alt + right-click
* Bring up the window below the top window = Alt + middle-click
* Slow-motion = Shift + F10
* Water = hold Ctrl+Super key
o Rain = Shift-F9

"Super-key" means the Linux respectively W** key.
If you know of others, please add them here.

* Film effect - changing dekstop = Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow (hold the Ctrl+Alt then for changing desktop + Left/Right arrow. You can also hold down the left mousebutton to move the "film") Can be used in combination with the "Switcher".
