Desktop Cube Tabbed Page
Desktop Cube
By default, this option gives you four desktops on the faces of a virtual cube that you can rotate
to access each desktop. This provides extra space in which to arrange open applications and
windows. For example, you can put an editor on one desktop, some shells on another, and your
e-mail application and Web browser on the third desktop. Using Ctrl+Alt+Left arrow and
Ctrl+Alt+Right arrow, you can rotate the cube to access the programs running in the selected
desktop and avoid windows piled on top of each other on one desktop.
Dragging a window to the edge of the screen rotates the cube and places the window on the
new desktop. To rotate the cube manually in 3-D, press Ctrl+Alt, left-click the desktop, then
drag the mouse pointer. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Left-arrow or Right-arrow lets you rotate the cube
while taking the currently selected window with you.
Use the options under
Drag the cube with the mouse by using to change the default keystrokes
used to rotate the cube.
For information on how to add an image behind your cube, see
“Displaying a Skydome Image
Behind the Cube” on page 78 .
Edge Flipping
When edge flipping is enabled, the desktop cube rotates to the next face when you bump the
mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. You can choose to always enable edge flipping or to
enable edge flipping only when you drag a window or icon to the edge of the desktop.
Use the slider bar at the bottom of the tabbed window to specify how long (in microseconds) it
takes to rotate the cube after you bump the edge of the desktop with a window or the mouse
pointer.
