The Compiz Fusion Project brings 3D desktop visual effects that improve usability of the
X Window System
and provide increased productivity though plugins and themes contributed by the community giving a rich desktop experience.
Note
There may be problems with running
Compiz Fusion
if you do not have a 3D-capable video card.
The Fedora Project does not enable
Compiz Fusion
by default and therefore, if you want to use it, you will need to install it first. Refer to
Chapter 17, Managing software
for instructions on managing software. You will need the
compiz-gnome or
compiz-kde depending on which desktop you use.
When you have installed
Compiz Fusion
, you can launch the program by selecting
System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Desktop Effects
in GNOME or
Kickoff Application Launcher > Applications > Settings > Compiz Switcher
in KDE.
