Bouncing Icons

What happened to the bouncing desktop icons that used to feature in KDE3 that we all loved? I've tried searching through the kcontrol menus and clicking on 'desktop effects' in the welcome screen but no success. Have I just overlooked a setting somewhere?

Are using KDE or TDE? I use KDE and they're there. Not sure about TDE.

Re: Bouncing Icons

Open Konsole
sudo kcmodules --unlock

Go to Control Centre>Look'nFeel>Icons>Advanced>Animate Icons

Then go to Launch Feedback and set to Bouncing Cursor 10 seconds.

Hopefully that will do the trick
