Not to sound a jerk mate but what was the point of this? There are five million videos like this out on youtube and there really isn't even anything special about yours, your compiz plugins are old and your programs generic. I'm sorry I sound so negative and it's great that you got all your effects and all working but there just isn't anything special with it.

i did it for fun to be honest with you, yes i know it's done before. i frankly don't care and im just trying to show off my interesting desktop, the one that excites me more than my windows one.

It's very easy to point someone to a vid. When you make one, it suddenly becomes real and accessible. Good for you.

The Salvador Dali skydome is pretty cool (it looks like part of a Dali painting I've seen before, I could be wrong). The Selassie picture is cool also.

I think you should maybe create a new Emerald theme to match your Red/Yellow/Green rasta theme..... maybe a black window theme with red/yellow/green buttons. I like truglass compositing, but you could try a solid black vrunner theme with all the opacity settings at 100%.


For the buttons, you could always use the apple buttons from one of the other emerald themes.(because they're red/yellow/green)
