Stacks don't appear on the desktop with visual effects -- these are used when navigating between cards, or stacks within an already open stack.
One simulated effect I've done is to create a loop that progressively sets the blendLevel of a stack, which results in fading the stack in (or out of) the desktop. On the Mac side, there is (was?) a Core image effects sampler that allows you to use system level transitions between images. I could swear I remember seeing Kevin Miller demonstrate the use of Core effects applied to the reveal of a stack at a RunRev conference. But when asking about it much later, nobody could recall if (or how) it was done, so maybe it was just a dream (even if this worked it would be Mac only).
