sablefoxx Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 If you using ubuntu (8.04) Step 1: We'll install the "ubuntu tweak" software, helpful for people who are new to ubuntu. From the desktop goto System->Administration->Software Sources then click third party repositories and copy/paste these lines: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ubuntu hardy main After adding these open up your terminal aka "shell" (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) Now Type: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak After installing the software, goto Applications->System Tools->ubuntu tweaks, in the tweak software browse to "Applications->Add/Remove" Check the box next to "Compizcong-Settings-Manager", and then hit okay, follow the on screen prompts to install the Adv Desktop Settings. After your done, close the tweak software and browse to System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, under general options, select the "desktop size" tab, and change the "Horizontal Virtual Size" value to 4, hit back, and in the main window enable "desktop cube" and "rotate cube" and your all done :) lots of other fun tweaks are in the Compiz Settings Manager/ubuntu tweak software, so play around and have fun. ====================================== Check out this site for tips and tricks for customizing your box, and having fun in linux: www.ubuntu-unleashed.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
