WindowFX 4 lets you add some really cool effects to your Windows desktop.  My personal favorite is the custom open/close animations available.  They are subtle animations, but it changes the desktop enough to where people notice it is not the default Windows animations.

Change Animations

I don’t think WindowFX could be any easier to use, and to change animations is as simple as a few mouse clicks.
