In Kubuntu 12.04 (and maybe 12.10, I think) there was a neat eyecandy effect you could enable in "Desktop Effects" under System Settings that made snow fall on the desktop. In 13.04, it isn't there!



Has it been dropped? For what reason is it not appearing?



It is/was an entertaining and visually useful desktop effect.

When kwin was modified to use OpenGL ES, some effects had to be rewritten. A couple of them ended up being dropped because nobody felt like porting them.



Here's an article from Martin Gräßlin's blog; in the comments he states that he is not planning on reimplementing the snow effect. Sorry.
