desktop cube in natty

[redspotss]

so i was just wondering if anyone has tried to run the desktop cube in natty ? if so how did you go about making it work? been reading alot about it but so far no one has found a way without disabling unity ? and would this be something that would be avabile in the next release?

I use the classic desktop with 11.04 with Gnome 2 and have it working, but you have to install the CompizConfig (ccsm) packages including Extras. If you don't like the Unity desktop, when you click on your name to log in, look in the center of the bottom bar and you can select whether you want Unity or the Ubuntu Classic Desktop. Than put in your password and login as usual. Once set, it should stay there.

yeah does it run ok ? i've been wanting to do it got compiz and the extras , but have not been able to get it to work , did you have to run a different dock ?

I have the cube running in Unity and there are some instructions on the web . Be careful some people have had problems with this. Search enable cube in Ubuntu 11.04 .
