'''Emerald''' is a window decorator that allows for a wide variety new looks to be added 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 downloaded 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].

'''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 exiutthemes.
