Sometimes when I want to feel special, I open up a tdfsb (a 3D-file browser) in one desktop, maximize it, and remove the frame. I then open up xcruise (another 3d-file browser) in another desktop, and do the same.
I then press a key command to intitialize 3ddesktop, and marvel at the sight as I cycle through my 2D and 3D layered desktop!!
My friends (what few are left) think I'm a loser..
I think this kind of stuff is fun..
If only tdfsb was a file-manager. It previews pictures, and huge files sort of look like buildings.. Xcruise is wicked too.
Both can be apt-got.
When I find more time I want to try to install Java's 3D desktop. Aparently it will work on ANY system. Even Windows. You can download a liveCD of it called LG3D. Google it if you want to check it out. Its pretty sweet. Its nothing like a first-person-shooter or anything like that! It's just a window manager with a 3D layer, you might say..
I think a first-person-shooter type desktop would be even more killer.
Or maybe just an environment like an RPG.
You could roam around your desktop with tux, slide into your igloo/home folder. There would be a filing-cabinet for your root-folder. A trash bin for .. trash.
Maybe tux would carry around a backpack with a notebook, and a sudo-key around his neck.
This would take many man-years of work to accomplish as a desktop, but just as a game, I think it would be pretty sweet!
