Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is… Y’know. A thing.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on

Yes, this happens automatically for me when I launch games. I don’t remember doing anything special to set it up (Kubuntu with nVidia drivers on X11). I do mostly game in true full screen though, not “full screened window”
