Compiz itself can also be turned on or off at will by first right-clicking the Compiz Fusion icon to bring up its menu, and then going to the Select Window Manager option.

To set Compiz as your default window manager, the fusion icon must be added to the desktop's ''Application Autostart'' in the ''Session and Startup Settings''. This determines what programs and applications are automatically activated when the desktop starts. The Session and Startup settings of your desktop can be found in the ''Settings'' section of your desktop menu. Alternatively, typing ''session'' in XFCE's ''Application Finder'' or KDE's built-in search bar will also bring it up. Once open, select the Application Autostart tab, and click the add button.
