With new versions (0.7 and above) is no longer even have to be in a composit manager like compiz, which can slow down your computer, to have a nice effect.

To install it is all very simple, just add the line

d b http://ppa.launchpad.net/gilir/ubuntu gutsy main universe

in sources.list (sudo gedit / etc / apt / sources.list and paste it into the file, then save). (if you use Kubuntu instead of gedit writes Kate) update sudo apt-get update and then install all sudo apt-get install screenlets. The program is now present in Applications / Accessories and you can start it from there with a click. For those wishing to start screenlets automatically when the PC has to go to System / Preferences / Sessions and add them into the new program by entering the boot command as screenlets-manager.
