Working with KDE desktop effects

“So you’ve followed the latest series on KDE 4.5 (see Ghacks KDE
4.5 content) and you are now using the spectacular latest release
from the KDE team. You want to use Compiz, but quickly realize that
it is not necessary as KDE has it’s own built-in compositing
effects. What you will find is that the built-in KDE compositing is
not like Compiz – but it is comparable and much easier to use. And
the fact that it is built-in, ensures you will have less issues
with integration.

“In this article I am going to introduce you to the KDE Desktop
Effects manager and how to use it to make your KDE desktop
experience as sleek as it can be.

“Installation

“Fortunately there will be no installation. So long as you are
using one of the more recent iterations of KDE (such as 4.4 or 4.5
– though I highly recommend you upgrade to 4.5) you will have
this feature available to you.”
