The calling card of compiz is the cube.
Newcomers to Linux want to see it.
Why is this not the default?

Cube caps and cube reflections should also be default.
And a nice default skydome should be selected as well.

I already did this in the Ubuntu farm I administer, but this should be default for all.

Thanks.
Dave.

Why not have the wall on the normal setting and Cube for the extra setting.

voted down...]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:39:31 +0000 If the Cube is prettier it should be in the extra setting.

Don't you agree?

Ubuntu is made for productivity, and the cube doesn't increase productivity.

If you want the cube, just install CCSM.

I personally find it less productive, because atleast on the cube, I can go from my 4th desktop to my 1st with just one flip, whereas on the wall, I have to go backwards through 2 other workspaces...

I'll vote +1 just because it should be default for the 'extra' setting, and it should include cube caps and maybe a simple skydome...]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2008 23:36:25 +0000 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:07:47 +0000 [ ][ ][ ][ ]

I have mine laid out like this:

in this way you can switch to any desktop in one motion. thats why the wall is better in my opinion.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:18:39 +0000 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:53:16 +0000 I prefer using the cube and do find it very useful, however I do agree that cube should not be the default due to its efficiency.
The issue really the fact that its too hard for peopel who know nothign about the effect system (I.e. dont know its called compiz) to hunt down the manager app.
Anyhoo thats not what this thread is for so I will vote down but needed to point out that sme people do like the cube and find it nicer to use than the wall.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:04:23 +0000
Saying "the wall is more productive" is the real stupidity here (not offending anyone).

The Wall, the Cube, and the old simple workspace transition before compiz are the same in one point: They don't make you work faster! Not even on of them. They all behave almost the same, but the "animation" is different. That's all.

Don't matter if you see a cube spinning or a wall passing by, the time it takes to change the workspace is almost the same. The difference is so small that it doesn't matter.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:21:44 +0000 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:16:10 +0000 Tue, 19 May 2009 17:43:46 +0000
