super + transparent cube

[xieu90]

hi guys
I have some questions

first of all about super button
where is it on my keyboard ?
I heard that it is windows button, normally there are 2 windows buttons on the keyboard
but I have only one on the left. is it the super key ?
I pressed it a lot of time but nothing happen (I also made it to change groups in keyboard preference)
can I set super key somewhere somehow ?

second question:
I want to make transparent cube, how can I make it like this one ? (I'm using compiz fusion(I think) )

1) Yes, your windows key is the super key.

2) You have to use CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm), and go to Desktop Cube/Transparent Cube.

3) You can configure all these things in ccsm.

hi
I pressed windows key with combo but nothing happened, what should I do now ?
and what are button 1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ?
where are they ?
are they the number button ?
figuring they out take me a lot of time , can you tell me how to get it ? I think it is much faster

The 1,2,3,4,5 buttons are probaly your mouse buttons and the super key is your windows key.

The blue effect is called burn and can be configured under animations in your CCSM.

The transpartent cube can be handled (as well as the zoom) in your CCSM under the desktop cube plugin.

Have fun !

could you tell me more about burn ?
how can i configure it ?
please please !!!

what about mouse button ?
my mouse has only 3 button, left, right and the rolling stone at the middle
so which one is button 1, 2,3 and so on ?


yeah I already have transparent cube, it is cool !!!

ccsm → Animations → Effect Settings → Fire

so which one is button 1, 2,3 and so on ?
Button1 is the regular mouse button (left click)
Button2 is the mouse button in the middle (mouse wheel)
Button3 is the right mouse button
Button4 is one scroll up with the mouse wheel
Button5 is one scroll down with the mouse wheel

I found it, but when I close or open a new window, it doesn't appear/disappear like in the video
I mean that blue fire or something

You have to change the Close Effect in the Close Animations tab to Burn, of course.

[xieu90]

can you tell me more detail ?
here is the screen shoot
what should I do here ?

[Forlong]

Double-click on Glide 2 and choose Burn in the dropdown menu at Close Effect.

If you have generally troubles setting things in ccsm, this (http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion) might be helpful.

there ought to be a setting as distance between windows in compiz......it i there in beryl and thats what makes them appear at a distance from the desktop background.

[xieu90]

Hi,

don't know if you still need help but here goes:
1,how can I rotate the cube to the top
ccsm → Rotate Cube → Snap To Top Face
2. what did I want to ask ? uhm....

yeah, some how I felt like they could zoom out from the cube , how did they do that ?
ccsm → Rotate Cube → Zoom
3, they can rotate a bit up and a bit left at the same time how did they do that ?
Sorry, I can't follow you there.
4. the windows somehow is above the desktop how did they do it ? (far from desktop) mine is right on the desktop (could you understand me ?)
You need the 3D windows plugin for that. It's not in Gutsy's repos, because it's not supported by Compiz Fusion.
