five minutes on youtube searching for "compiz" will generally give you really good ideas of how neat things can look. if you're using ubuntu gutsy, it's pretty much integrated in-branch. if you're doing it by hand, you'll have the newer eye candy, and you'll have more control, but it'll take a bit more of an effort. my personal faves are 3d cube (it's really just so super-easy) and 3d windows. wobbly/stretchy windows are also a huge plus, since you can pull the corner of a window down to check on, say, a shell session behind it without too much movement of the mouse (or taking your hand off the mouse to cycle to the window, etc.) rmsolino wrote: > I'd like to setup a snazzy looking box to impress folks who tour our > office.
