Window effects besides Compiz?

This is more of a general question, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the wiki.  Say I don't want to install Compiz; is there any way I can still have some (minimal) window effects?  Mostly I would want it to make a nice minimize effect cause the default one now is just kind of old school (which I guess isn't always bad).

Thanks.

You might take a look at xcompmgr to see if it will cover what you want.
