Hacking Linux..?
« on: January 22, 2013, 07:27:40 PM »
In this post hacking is used in the sense of modding. I would like some help on how people get these cool looking themes and effects with Linux. I have a little experience with compiz config but I want to know how to get the cube desktop or the sphere and all of that. I've seen some youtube videos on how to do it but none are too clear. Anyone out there have any clear instructions on how to do this?

Desktop cube is a standard effect in KDE and the KWin manager.

It should be in System Settings > Desktop Effects > All Effects > Desktop Cube.

Something like that. Absolutely no practical purpose to it, though.

Youll need; compiz-fusion and ccsm basically.
Both can be installed with a package manager on basically any distro.

Depending on what distro (I'm guessing Ubuntu) you will run sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager I believe.

Then it's just a GUI that you fuck with. It's really not that hard. It's also a huge memory hog and it's entirely useless.
