Welcome to MIntBulletbillx
To change the start button right click it, select Preferences
and - voila - there you have it
For themes, both to change and install you use the "Themes tool" in the menu
I believe compizfusion will be default in Daryna
In the mean time use this.

It speaks of Cassandra but that should not matter....

Don't fix it if it ain't broken, don't break it if you can't fix it

You can install Compiz-Fusion now if you like. I have both the latest builds of Beryl & Compiz-Fusion installed. I still prefer Beryl. Compiz-Fusion, in my opinion anyway, is still not ready for prime time. It's user interface is really tedious and cumbersome.
I have not been able to duplicate the setup I had with Beryl because some things are either not working right, or at least not working the same as before. There are a few new plugins, but nothing that is a must have. I also get errors when loading Fusion (although it still runs fine, so they're apparently not fatal).
Beryl 0.3.0, on the other hand, runs without a hitch. The only issue I have with the final svn/git build of Beryl is that the benchmark plugin seems to be broken (I've heard that can be fixed by recompiling the plugins, but I haven't tried because the benchmark plugin is not important to me).
Anyway... as I said, you don't have to wait for Daryna if you want Fusion. Just go ahead and install it.
