For Linux Mint 17, you can right click on an empty place in the taskbar/menu bar (the bar where Menu is placed). Click on Add to panel->Workspace switcher. Right click on the Workspace switcher-> Preferences.

Compiz

Compiz is generally enhancing the windows, and is usually installed by default. Take care when playing around with it though, as you can seriously break your the graphics by choosing the wrong options.
