Sliced sphere in compiz-fusion-git packages
by cyberorg, Friday, May 2nd, 2008 @ 1:37 pm

Here is one more of “cube” mode to make users of other OS jealous ;)

openSUSE users grab compiz-fusion-git packages from home:cyberorg (experimental/unstable) repository. Wait till all the packages (except emerald*) are synced out to the mirrors and have the same version (080502).

    An associate of mine have had a hilarious idea ever since we saw the Atlantas. (Funny is in the eye of the beholder :-) Our idea is to have monkey in the middle (or many monkeys (even better right :-)) that throw poop that splats on the internal side of the transparent cube.

    Cheers,
    Rick

    nice concept rounded n all, but transparency looks so damn ugly, like a game using the quake 2 engine or something.
    i wonder if theres anychance of some texturing/reflections so it looks and feels like glass, instead of see through object.

    Users of other OS’s and those of us with ATI GPU’s that don’t yet have support. :(

    I am on ATI fglrx.

    I’m on a Radeon x800, open-source drivers, there’s plenty of support, most of it just isn’t coming from ATI.

    Why would I be jealous ?

    Hi CyberOrg,

    Just a quick question , how do you get the reverse of the window brighter ? ( see screen shot )

    http://www.fedoraforum.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=4323

    The backs of my windows are darker and seem to have a shadow lighting effect ( what plugin controls this ? )

    Thanks

    Leigh

    ccsm -> general -> display settings -> lighting

    Atlantis screensaver is improving nicely. Hope they add texture next, then screen saver will be very cool.

    Tsk, tsk, cyberorg. Two questions: how old are you, and how long have you been using a Linux kernel based OS? Don’t make me sic RMS on you :).

    Still, it is a nice effect. IMO the name does not match what it is though. When I think of a “sliced sphere”, I think of an orange or tomato cut into flat slices. This is more like “spiral ribbon slices”, or maybe “peeled sphere”. Just my 2 cents.

    Yes. That’s actually a very logical improvement because it hides the limitations of desktop facets. As you add facets, it maintains its shape along with a very polished and sleek appearance. The circular desktop is very smart! But mine would be hollow.

    Uh, and “DB” if you can create a better one, then you can name it. Otherwise…!
