I admit that I’m a little disappointed I can’t set it as my virtual desktop switch animation, and that it defaults to pointing down when invoked, but I am hopeful it’s just a matter of time on those details. :)
It ain’t quite the compiz/beryl cube, nor even what I remember as the last iteration of the kwin cube, but it’s a step in the right direction!
I need to redesign my site one day. Simplify it. The current design is from 2008, using design features (like the striped backgrounds) that were popular back then.
Exactly, I never had the zoom-out cube, just the desktop switch version, and it was painful to lose. I was so looking forward to that in 6 but no. 😢 The zoom cube is fun too though.
I have noticed you can switch desktops after invoking with whatever keyboard shortcuts you have designated for that. I’m betting we get it as a switcher choice in an update or three…

The Compiz cube was fun… I blogged about it nearly 20 years ago. https://d.sb/2006/09/laptop-linux-and-compiz
Fun trip down memory lane. Also, bitchin’ domain name!
Thanks!

Yeah I remember using the Compiz cube on Ubuntu 8(?)

Nice. Will check it out!
How did you get a single letter domain? I thought all single letters were reserved by ICANN in 1993. Did you buy it before that happened?
ICANN doesn’t run country code TLDs. I bought it through an aftermarket domain sale site (like Sedo).
I’ve actually got three of them. d.sb, d.sv and d.ls.
d.sb was around $4000 if I remember correctly.
