Rotating Cylinder Desktop
This is a short video scrrencast of my "rotating cylinder" desktops in Ultimate Edition 2.9 Linux. Version 2.9 is based on Ubuntu V 10.04. As you may know, in Linux you can have more than one desktop. Here I have four. If I had six, the cylinder would have a top and bottom. Much of the flickering is caused by the "screencast program" I used! With the use of a program called Compiz Fusion, which is pre-installed in Ultimate Edition 2.9, you can get many special effects. To get the cylinder, after set-up, push and hold Ctrl-Alt-left mouse button drag it like you would a window. The little puff of red when I closed the program is another Compiz effect, burning windows! Unfortunately, many of these effects no longer work in the latest version of Ubuntu with Gnome desktop. I don't know about KDE desktop. So, it's a lot of fun and a good diversion! Also on the screen is a "Conky" to monitor the system and a AWN dock on the bottom. I love "eye candy"!.
