<para>
Xubuntu does not ship a full fledged 3D desktop like Ubuntu. However,
hardware supported desktop rendering and some effects like translucent windows
and shadows are also available on Xubuntu.
</para>
<para>Desktop effects are optional, and it is not necessary to have them
turned on. In addition, users of computers with certain graphics cards may find
that desktop effects do not work well on their computer, or cause the computer
to operate more slowly than it would with the effects turned off.

- If 3D drivers for your graphics card are properly
installed and running, then Xfce's window manager will let you turn on these
effects. To enable these effects, navigate to &desktop-effects;, and - provided
the hardware acceleration was properly detected - you will see a tab called
<guibutton>Compositor</guibutton>.

effects, and many other options to customize their behaviour. Your screen may
flicker briefly while the effects are being enabled.
