Greetings!
I am new to Kubuntu and i dont yet know how to fully set up its interface. I looked for some settings and tried every option in "All Effects" and i could achieve some eyecandy but...
I've seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ and it shows pretty nice interface quirks i dont pretty know how to activate or install.
What i am interested in partiular:
- Windows "magic lamping" into their buttons with percision
- Cube having no top and bottom (my cube has KUBUNTU written there and blue background and this is not pretty transparent so i cannot clearly see through the top o the back side of the cube)
- Cube has a nice 3d background like you are in some room with that creature and stones
- That panel with some icons that can be thrown around
- Windows burning with magical flashes
- Hovering over a window button makes i briefly appear over other windows, transparent
PS: Also, could anyone please tell if there is a convinient method of switching themes at once?
Because i have a very dark theme i would like to switch to a brighter one in order to, for example, edit word documents etc. This theme is called Ghost and i installed it with built-in installer. It required changes in numerous places (wallpaper, plasma desktop, windows decoration, color scheme,..). In order to change to another scheme, i would have to go through all those menus and manually switch everything there, but i would like to be able to do it with one click, from one template (Ghost wallpaper, plasma,color scheme, window decoration) to another (Default wallpaper, .....). Is that possible at all?
