[demo] 30 Beryl effects on Linux Ubuntu Edgy Eft (pt.1)

Back


Demonstration of the 3D desktop under Linux Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.1.0.
The demo features a total of 30 effects, but there are plenty more!

Part 1:
Translucent windows
Switching between windows from current workspace
Switching between windows from all workspaces
Scaling all workspaces
Scaling current workspace
Switching to desktop of current cube face
Switching desktops on cube
Sending the active window to the left/right workspace
Rotating the cube manually
Rotating the cube manually with 3D effects
Zooming in/out
Moving windows (without resizing first)
Resizing windows
Mouse pointer moving on water
Rain falling on screen

Note:
Many of these effects might be seen as pure "eye candy". However, some of them like the scaling function (which is the linux adequate of MacOS's Exposé function) will speed up your everyday work.

Go to beryl-project.org for more info.

Assuming you meant floating windows, I didn't see the 3D effects of the cube. Default key combos in the title screens would help, too.

best way to get the song is to download the video and convert it into mp3 or wma. it sounds better with 192kbps and and don't forget to clean the soundfile to listen the song like its a orginal soundtrack.

First, write voobys in the part where it says "youtube", then download the coverter and the video!
