I'm assuming you're talking about things like the wobbly windows and other effects like that. You can't enable them if you run an os in a virtual machine (vmware / xen / virtualbox / qemu). Basically, because you're running it on all virtual hardware it has no real access to your video card besides basic functionality so it won't work. You also won't be able to run anything that needs 3D acceleration (games and such).
