Advanced Virtual Whiteboard Via Projector(AVWVP)

This is the perfect solution to increase the speed of:

Files haring
Web address sharing
Delivery of short memo's

the idea is, that the team of people works on same project, at the same time. On the wall of room, there is a AVWVP, where shared information appears.

The AVWVP works very similar to second monitor, but it can be shared and used by multiple users at the same time. Users can drag-and-drop files, windows(opened files), put notes or put opened web pages on the area of AVWVP.

For me, as regular user its very hard to explain everything in computer terms, so I tried to explain my idea trough image:

every time I staring at desktop wallpaper, I want to hold on (for example, the "super" windows key), then click on somewhere, then type something and it embedded into the wallpaper.
I can change the text later by hold the super key and click on the text. or add another text by holding the super key and click on somewhere else.

it's not like tomboy or screenlets notes which just put notes window with a frame border on the desktop, not on the wallpaper. It would be better if the text just embedded into the wallpaper like I edit the picture in f-spot and re-set it as background.

Let focused windows cast a slightly bigger drop shadow on the desktop. Metacity has this, and it just looks really good. Plus, it's easier to see which window is focused.

I have hot corner enabled using compiz. When I pick a work space, I go to the top left corner. When I choose a window for a given workspace, i move the mouse to the to top right.

At the moment I can move the mouse to the top left to see all work spaces and then move the mouse to the top right to see all the windows in those work spaces. It would be great to be able to do this.

I know that I could use the window picker to see "all windows" but this is more a usability thing as my workspaces give each window a form of context, which makes them easier to see when its a crowded space. I.e I have 4 work spaces - top left is mail, bottom left is my browser etc.

icons can be added by user

I've been googeling all day for this, but I can't find what I'm looking for..

So what am I looking for?
A real-time earth wallpaper, so a app/program/... that changes your background in real-time: if it's night you see a dark earth with the lights of the cities, if it's day it's clear, etc.

I've found quit a few scripts to do this with images, but that's like 5 images that repeat themselves over a 24h span.
I'm looking for something that shows snow when there should be/is snow in the winter, something that you wan hardly see the transition between night and day because it's so detailed..


I know this is possible because it already exists for windows--"
I'm still a new user(for one week) but I haven't used my windows since then(and I'm trying to keep at it!).

So if anyone could please help me with this.. :)

If anyone uses a Mac or if anyone does not have a Mac, have a look at this:

If you enable the zoom option and click in Options, I want you to have a look at "When zoomed in, the screen image moves." There are three options when you zoom in when using a Mac. The first is "Continuously with pointer," which is what Compiz does when using Enhanced Desktop Zoom. One problem I have is with when I enable the option in Compiz to move the screen image when I move the mouse is it feels unnatural when I need to get to the edge of the screen. Actually, the position of the screen image seems to be proportional to the position of the mouse pointer, which is what I don't like. The second option is "Only when the pointer reaches an edge." Fine and dandy, but I don't like the behavior. The last option is "So the pointer is at or near the center of the image." This is ahat I want. I use this when I am using a Mac when taking a graphic design course at Tallahassee Community College.

Right now, I cannot afford a Mac, and even if I buy a Mac Mini and connect that to my monitor when I get my financial aid check, I'd rather use my money to pay off my credit card, so right now and while I'm still in college right now, Mac Mini is considered a luxury to me, so since I currently have my netbook with Ubuntu in it, so I'd like to have the ability to use Enhanced Desktop Zoom but with the option to keep the zoomed area centered within or near the mouse pointer (by "near," I'm talking about when the zoomed area hits the edge of the screen).

Also, since this is not related to Compiz and method of moving the zoomed area wheile staying at or near the mouse pointer, I'd like to see a new "Universal Access" that integrates Orca and Enhanced Desktop Zoom into one location.

With Compiz Advanced Settings (CCSM), it can be cumbersome for the visually impaired to work with controls next to far-away labels when changing setings for Enhanced Desktop Zoom. Instead of placing a checkbox to the far right of the label, the checkbox should be placed to the left in order to make quick selections while zoomed in.

Grid doesn't do it for me; I don't want to have to set up a tiling scheme, I want to hit a short-cut key combo, have my open windows all fit, and still be viewable/usable at normal capacity, side-by-side. Hit it again to return to normal.

After a couple of weeks playing and struggling with compiz-fusion and beryl I was missing a fairly straightforward multi monitor option for the desktop cube.

This is not a problem, rather it is a feature request. But if you must have it formulated as a problem then OK.

When I look at the desktop, all the Windows are fixed to the flat 2D surface that my computer screen really is, there is nothing(besides the 3D Cube and other Compiz effects) that makes the desktop contents stand out from the two dimensions.
