|
|
<para>This module is used to enable and configure desktop effects
|
|
for Plasma.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The main part of this page is a list of all available effects grouped
|
|
by <guilabel>Accessibility</guilabel>, <guilabel>Appearance</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Focus</guilabel>, <guilabel>Tools</guilabel>, <guilabel>Candy</guilabel>
|
|
and <guilabel>Window Management</guilabel>.</para>
|
|
<para>Use the incremental search bar above the list window to find items in the list.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Normally there is no reason for users to change that, but
|
|
there is a <inlinemediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="configure-filter.png" format="PNG"/>
|
|
</imageobject></inlinemediaobject> configuration button to modify the filtering of the list to show
|
|
also those effects.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The easiest way of installing new effects is by using the built-in
|
|
KNewStuff support in &kwin;. Press the <guibutton>Get New Effects</guibutton> button to open
|
|
a dialog with a list of available effects from the Internet and to install and uninstall effects.</para>
|
|
<note><para>Please keep in mind that changing these sensible defaults can break your system.</para>
|
|
</note>
|
|
|
|
<para>Check an effect in the list to enable it. Display information about Author and License by
|
|
clicking the <inlinemediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="dialog-information.png" format="PNG"/>
|
|
</imageobject> </inlinemediaobject> info button at the right side of the list item.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Some effects have settings options, in this case there is a <inlinemediaobject><imageobject>
|
|
<imagedata fileref="configure-effects.png" format="PNG"/></imageobject></inlinemediaobject> configure button
|
|
at the left of the info button. Click it to open a configuration dialog.</para>
|
|
<para>To see a video preview of an effect click on the <inlinemediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="video.png" format="PNG"/>
|
|
</imageobject></inlinemediaobject> button.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Some effects are mutual exclusive to other effects. For example one would only want to activate the
|
|
<guilabel>Minimize Animations</guilabel> or the <guilabel>Magic Lamp</guilabel> effect. Both activated at the same
|
|
time result in broken animations.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For effects in a mutual exclusive group the &GUI; uses radio buttons and manages that only one of these
|
|
effects can be activated.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All effects which are not supported by the currently used compositing backend
|
|
are hidden by default (⪚ OpenGL effects when using XRender).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Also all internal or helper effects are hidden by default. These are effects which replace
|
|
functionality from KWin Core or provide interaction with other elements of the desktop shell.
