Using the GNOME Control Center
In addition to letting you change individual desktop ele-
ments, GNOME lets you extensively personalize your desk-
top. You can find more settings to adjust the overall appear-
ance and behavior of your desktop in the GNOME Control
Center. There, you can also change fonts, keyboard and
mouse configurations, regional and language settings, pa-
rameters for your Internet and network usage, and more.
To start the Control Center, click Computer, then click
Control Center on the right of the main menu.
Configuring Desktop Effects
Compiz is a compositing window manager for the X Window
System that uses 3D graphics hardware to create fast com-
positing desktop effects for window management. It lets
you turn your desktop into a rotating 3D cube, tile windows
so they do not overlap, and switch tasks while viewing live
thumbnails. You can enable translucent or transparent
windows, zoom in and out of the desktop screen, and use
other window effects such as shadows, fading, and transfor-
mations. You can also configure windows to snap to other
windows and screen edges when they are moved.
To use compositing desktop effects, you need a graphics
adapter capable of providing 3D support with a appropriate
driver supporting 3D acceleration installed. 3D acceleration
must also be enabled. Use SaX2 to change your graphics
card and monitor properties if necessary. If the 3D acceler-
ation works properly, compositing effects are enabled by
default.
To enable compositing desktop effects manually or to
configure the particular effects you want to see, click
Computer → More Applications → Utilities → Simple
CompizConfig Settings Manager. There, you can configure
your desktop effects.
Managing Files and Folders
Use the Nautilus File Manager to create and view folders
and documents, run scripts, and create CDs of your data.

and display your files in the tree system.

menu to increase or decrease the size of content in the
