Impress Your Friends With A 3D Desktop Pager

Posted by timothy on from the eyecandy dept.

    I'll take the [1][2][3][4] of the default GNOME desktop pager, it's quite all right. I can even drag windows between desktops with it. Shiny screenshots, though.

    I have to add: you are absolutely correct about the advertisement value. I was (still am, but I have too little time to attend it) a member of a p2p forum. There was a "post a screenshot of your desktop" thread and I choose to show it in full 3D (looked best when I configured 3 desktops). I gimped an image that showed switching desktops - it had 3 rows and 2 images in each, showing each step, from zooming out from a current desktop to finally zooming in to another displaying the website of the forum in a browser.

    Everyone was impressed, and wanted immediately the prog. I provided them with the link, but had some explaining to do afterwards (no, you won't be able to install it on XP) - including some positive things I had to say about Linux.

    Sorry for the typos above. I should go to sleep now.
