Dungeon-Dave 293 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Looking at your desktop... are you aware of CreBS? It's a utility that creates a slideshow from various wallpapers, the slideshow being in XML format - so you can specify it as a wallpaper and have it cycle through different images as you're working. I've created a "celestial" and "landscapes" slideshows to use as my rotating backdrops, on a 5-min changeover. (I've also got them semi-transparent and have the compiz cube gears whirring away through them also. It just looks freaky for visitors.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No I wasn't aware of Crebs, looks interesting I'll have a look at it. thanks. I did play around with compiz a while back but never got it configured right and messed up my desktop real bad, although compiz always looks really cool. I'll give it another try too . nice, so how does it feel ? gnome 3 i mean ? isn't this a newer version than what I have on Fedora 15 ? It runs smoother as a desktop that's my personal opinion. It's still the normal gnome but they made it look a little different. Gnome 3 has more of a mac type menu look in a way. You should be able to compare it cuz you run gnome 3, right? I was thinking of going for Ubuntu 11.10 but I don't know what to think of unity. I didn't like gnome 3 cuz it differs so much from gnome and it crashed alot, and have that same for unity. It looks nice but I like the old gnome better and don't know if it crashes but I might try to run it virtually and see how it runs. But I'll wait for the next LTS anyways before I upgrade again.

hybrid 189 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I miss the Compiz cube effect (when Compiz was all new and shiny!) -- right now I have the default 'tile' view for moving between the different desktop spaces in Ubuntu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How different was it when it was al new and shiny compared to now? Played with it last night and got a different wallpaper for every workspace now. Looks pretty awesome and I got emrald installed. Haven't done anything with it yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
inittux 1,367 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Had some trouble with compiz after updating my video driver I think got it back now and have compiz running just the way I want ultimate settings and animations. Here's how my cube all the way around looks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
