Wobbly Windows and Cube effects

Hi all
Anybody been able to get the "Wobbly windows" and Cube effects like the Linux Compiz / Beryl package(s) - works in most Linux distros or is it well nigh impossible to do with windows.

I like the Cube idea a lot - once you get used to it it's suprisingly useful for switching applications etc.

Cheers

Have a look at this jimbo, not wobbly windows but some damn fine cube effects and up 6 virtual desktops!!

Enjoy. Ant

Take some of that medicine Jimbo. I'm a doctor and I hereby prescribe some to you. You are excitable. lol

I agree with you on the "sneakware" but still think you need something to help you stay calm.

I do a lot of work on Linux machines and the eye candy they have is, in my opinion, better than what Windows offers, but, Grub Gnome and KDE still have a lot to do till they look as good as Win7's start menu/ taskbar.

I use linux primarily for internet browsing and for file recovery on infected computers. For some applications windows 7 isn't even in the same league as the current distribution of ubuntu. Some of the media editing software that's available for ubuntu is far more efficient than anything that's available for windows. Syncing 40 GB of music and videos to an IPOD takes about 15 minutes in linux, as opposed to 30-40 minutes using Itunes. I also happen to like the way everything is free and completely customizable. A few tweaks can make the KDE desktop nearly identical in appearance to windows 7, or OSuX for that matter. Many of the applications available for windows have free equivalents in linux. I don't particularly care for the cube desktop, but it would be nice to have multiple desktops available, especially when I'm trying to do 20 things at once.

I agree.
