| {{warning|At present, Compiz Fusion is only compatible with the XFCE and KDE desktop environments. It will not work with Gnome / Cinnamon. It is also worth noting that if you are running Manjaro in Oracle's Virtualbox (i.e. as a virtual machine), Compiz may not work fully.}}

| '''Compiz Fusion''' is a compositing manager that allows you to easily add a wide variety of fancy effects and animations to your desktop environment. Some of the more well known - and popular - examples include:
| | Compiz 0.9 series (includes autostart for Xfce and MATE): |
|
| |
|
| * Turning the desktop into a 3D cube, cylinder, or sphere to switch between workspaces / virtual desktops
| | sudo pacman -S compiz-manjaro |
| * Wobbly and stretchy windows
| |
| * Zooming in on the desktop
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Emerald''' is a window decorator that allows for a wide variety new looks to be added to appplication windows. It also allows for decorations to be edited or even created from scratch. For now, there are plenty of existing Emerald themes that can be downloaded and used first.

|
| Using Compiz Fusion and Emerald together can produce some genuinely stunning-looking desktop environments. However, even if you choose to download and install them together, you can still very easily choose to use just one or the other with your desktop environment at any time. For more information about Compiz Fusion and Emerald, the Compiz wiki can be found [http://wiki.compiz.org here].

| Although it is possible to download and install them via the ''Add/Remove Software'' application provided with Manjaro, it is actually faster and easier to use the terminal, which will be used in this tutorial.

| {{Tip|pacman will automatically download dependencies, so it is not necessary to actually specify ALL the packages we need. For example, asking pacman to download and install Emerald's themes will automatically result in downloading Emerald itself, if not already installed. This is because Emerald is a dependency of the themes.}}

| |
|
| As illustrated in the screenshot below, entering the command to install both Compiz Fusion and Emerald together for XFCE has resulted in pacman automatically pulling a few extra packages as dependencies of the ones specified (i.e. seven packages have been listed, but eleven are being downloaded in this instance):
