3D effects in Gnome

3D effects are managed by Gnome.

To install the effects:

Gnome extensions

The two best ones, in my opinion, are: Desktop cube and Burn my windows.

Others can be found using search engines.

Once on the extension page, the easiest method is to click on “install.”


Enable 3D effects

Open “extensions” in applications. Enable the extensions.


KDE Plasma 3D Desktop Effect

In Mageia 9 and KDE Plasma 5.114.0

Go to System Settings (KDE, not the Mageia Control Center) Workspace Behavior Desktop Effects

and try out the different options and combinations. I really recommend gelatin windows. Once you get used to them, they're nice and smooth, and it's hard to do without them.

And for closing windows, I like: FIre [Burn-My-Windows], the classic effect inspired by Compiz** with an animation duration of 500 milliseconds.
