I think that's a feature of KDE?

The window previews are a default feature of KDE 4.4.  They should work with a base install of KDE 4.4 big_smile

I willfully participate in a campaign of misinformation!

Re: How can I get these effects-

Yeah, Crunchbang is all about stripped down functionality and customizability, but not so much flash.  Personally, I'd rather have the speed of openbox than the features of KDE.  But, if that's you're thing you'll have to go with KDE.
