For some reason I never managed to find or switch on the snow effect. Is it good?
You need to have one of the extra plugin packages installed (or at least you do on the ubuntus)
It's ok, snow goes over desktop (but behind the windows) different size flakes. All in all a bit of a waste of time. Actually I think the Snow speed issue on my machine is a configuration one as the snow moves freely if you grab a window and wave it about, but goes into a low framerate judder if you stop moving or release the window.
Has anyone played with the blurring effects? They are pretty, but rather pointless and appear to mess the display up a bit.
The blurring effects did nothing but give me a headache, just reminded me of the pixel lag you got on first gen LCD's. Turned up to high it was like trying to use a machine whilst drunk (not that I mind that effect I'd just rather get drunk to experience it).
Anyway blurred text is my safety indication to tell me that now would not be a good time to log in as root or try an apt-get dist-upgrade to feisty, if the system is blurring stuff for me how am I supposed to tell ?
