Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Desktop
Posted by admin on April 28th, 2010 filed in Garden Bird ControlI really like the desktop cube effects available in linux. In my opinion, linux does everything vista does better, except for gaming. Best part is, it’s totally free, and even has an easy windows dual boot installer! www.ubuntu.com The ubuntu windows installer is called wubi, just do a search for that, download it, run it, and you’ll have a dual boot computer in no time - Then go to add/remove under applications, add compiz advanced desktop control and enable desktop cube!

Cool, open up compiz, then enable desktop cube, rotate cube, and 3d windows. In rotate cube under the general tab, set the zoom to 2 (instead of 0). Now when you press Ctrl+Alt+leftmousebutton, you should get the cube to rotate like I have, and enabling 3d windows should have made any open windows you have pop out. Last thing you need is the background image. Under Desktop Cube, you should have an option under the Appearance tab that says Skydome. Click on the first checkbox and that will

Sorry for the late reply! Enable Desktop Zoom in Compiz, and I think the default button is you hold the windows “start” button down (between ctrl and alt) and use the mouse scroll wheel!
