Wobbly Windows and Cube effects

[jimbo45]

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

Never tried it but might be worth a look CubeDesktop - 3D realtime virtual desktop manager and task switcher

I specifically DO NOT want my desktop to look like any form of Loonix. That wobbly window junk caused one guy to go into seizures -- I'll have to find the link...

Hi
thanks for the link BUT :

These sites are always "SNEAKWARE" as they show a "Free Version" - but when you download it you'll find that it's still a time limited version of the "PRO" (i.e PAY FOR) version with less features.

Reading the site you would assume that there are 2 different versions a FREE one and a PAY FOR ONE.

That's of course what they want you to believe.

I DO NOT EVER BUY FROM SNEAK AND NAGWARE SITES. IF YOU DEVELOP SOFTWARE SPECIFY UP FRONT THAT IT'S A PAY PRODUCT AND THE FREE VERSION IS ONLY TIME LIMITED ETC ETC.

If you do it openly you might get more customers.

Not only do I NOT buy from these type of sites i try and ensure others don't either.

I REALLY HATE THIS TYPE OF SELLING. Sorry for Caps but I really do get MAD at this.

Cheers
jimbo

I don't see anywhere on the site where it says "FREE" it clearly states it is "Trial".

Maybe that one guy should have disabled dektop effects...

Unfortunately all the different Windows versions of spinning cubes etc are just plain buggy and downright bad.

I was secretly hoping MS would have incorporated the multiple desktops + effects into Seven because it is a very useful feature once tailored.

Wobbly Windows may not be productive, but they do add a bit of spice to the desktop

I am still getting used to the *regular* Windows 7 desktop and it's effects lol.

I have a new set of desktop wallpapers to post but I am not sure how Gothic art will be taken here....

I am not so sure I want to be playing with special effects - yet. My machine can surely handle it, but still....

Hey, Johngalt, post your wallpapers. This forum especially seems to love such things.

Just say you like that lady on NCIS -- you know the intelligent one who wears the large dog collar - studs and all - and are trying out some NCIS wallpapers.

Actually there are some bars in the centre of Manchester where the MEN seem to like wearing that clobber as well -- sure it's the same in a lot of other places.

- so I'm sure posting these wallpapers won't be a problem.

I prefer this to "dog collars" however

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 personally prefer Linux to be totally honest, but I'm a HUGE gamer, so windows is a needed install, but I really need to have multiple desktops when I am in windows, as I do a ton of things all at once, and I'm so used to having multiple desktops, that it's hard to be as productive once you get used to it, you never realize how useful it is, until you have it, and then don't.

Desktop cube windows 7

If you want a desktop cube application for windows seven look up and download the trial to deskspace. its and amazing program works like the desktop cube feature in Ubuntu. and its really cool because you can set different wallpapers to different sides of the cube.

But for the wobbly windows i havent found anything yet that actually works as well as the Ubunutu one.

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.
