Desktop Effects are a way of enhancing the way that your desktop is displayed, and can make it more fun and easier to use. Desktop effects were included by default with the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) release, with the Compiz Fusion window manager. Kubuntu uses Kwin, the default KDE window manager.
Below is a list of some of the desktop effects that are available:
- Translucent windows
- 3D desktop capabilities
- Shadow effects
- Motion effects and animations
Desktop effects are optional, and it is not necessary to have them turned on. In addition, users of computers with certain graphics cards may find that desktop effects do not work well on their computer, or cause the computer to operate more slowly than it would with the effects turned off.
Requirements
Desktop effects require a supported graphics card.
A list of graphics cards which should be supported can be found on the Gentoo wiki.
