Add the animationEngnine: 'jquery' - and the animation will be smoother.

var mycontainer = jQuery('#projects');
mycontainer.isotope({ 
    filter: '*',
    animationEngine: 'jquery',
    animationOptions: {
    duration: 350,
    easing: 'linear',
    queue: true
    }
}); 

jQuery('#projects-filter a').click(function(){ 
    var selector = jQuery(this).attr('data-filter'); 
    mycontainer.isotope({ 
        filter: selector,
        animationOptions: {
            duration: 350,
            easing: 'linear',
            queue: true,
        } 
    }); 
  return false; 
});


Wordpress and isotope filtering
I installed a 32bit Kubuntu on my Netbook (Aspire One 150) and the first logon after the installation was just fine. However, after applying some upgrades, turning off the effects etc, I have some kind of "launcher" with the task bar (or something like it) at the top, a button named "Menu" at the top left and when I click that button I get a "Close" menu entry, but clicking that yields no result whatsoever? There are something like tabs in that launcher, the first named "Search and launch", the second "Page one".

How can I get the usual KDE desktop back?
