Video of Mint 19.3 Xfce with Compiz, plus Video Wallpaper and Transparency

I Managed to sort out my Mint 19.3 Xfce at last.
I have most of the stuff I liked about KDE/Plasma, but saved most of the speed of Xfce on the little Lenovo m93p Tiny.

The m93p only has an intel i5 4590T processor and 8GB RAM, with an i915




Click the BIG RED DOT to Play Video...

Compiz is managing to display the Full Screen Video Wallpaper on all Viewports, and still keeps it playing as I rotate, flip and tumble the cube.
That rather surprised me !
HOWEVER:-
I have the 3D Windows effect enabled.  What that effect does, is to make the windows appear as if they are floating above the faces of the cube.
Because I told my cube to pretend to be a cylinder, it floats the 3D windows as a cylinder, but keeps the desktops as a cube.
And it makes the top and bottom face into disks.

Turning 3D windows OFF makes everything work properly.
Also, if 3D Windows effeect is turned Off, the 'sphere' deformation works, although with modern screen aspects, it is an elipsoid.

I'll do a desktop capture of that soon, but for now, here's a photo:
