It's pretty easy! This is my desktop right now. I do like it a liiitle less gaudy and my mac use at work means that I prefer my window controls on the left instead of the right.
Have a look at Wayfire. It's a Wayland compositor that implements a lot of the compiz effects/plugins. I recently found that but haven't tried it myself as I don't really care about wobbly windows and cubes as much as I did 15+ years ago when I first tried compiz as a teenager :D
