Enable Dodge Windows in Ubuntu 13.04/12.10/12.04

Ubuntu dropped dodge windows since 12.10 precise version and it is not available in 12.10 Quantal and won't be in 13.04 Raring. So it is possible to enable dodge windows in Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 easily.

1) Enable Dodge windows for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise via PPA:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ikarosdev/unity-revamped
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install Compiz Settings Manager via this command:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Now open CCSM from Dash -> Go to Ubuntu Unity Plugin and enable Dodge windows.

2) Enable Dodge windows for Ubuntu 12.10/13.04 via this PPA.
You can't find option in compiz setting manager because this is script. Once you run command then it will auto-start every time.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-dodge-windows

Now Press Alt+F2 and type this command:
