Stackswitch’s author seems to have switched compile methods to cmake.

Unfortunately this doesn’t work at all.

This works great, i followed instructions on how to update, then these instructions and it works without any error, i just noticed one thing, i use transparent top and bottom panels, and they still have old background, how to change this?

Does not work at all on Ubuntu Jaunty

I installed stackswitch and I am able to locate where the effect is enabled. The problem is that once I check the box it almost immediately automatically unchecks itself. I’ve tried settling the conflicts and it appears as though nothing is keeping stackswitch from running. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could try? Thanks

running jaunty and everytime I disable nautilus showing desktop, the whole computer freezes up. doing a killall_nautilus will free it up again. Tried to write this into startup to no avail. Luckily I have commands in compiz to kill naut. Any suggestions as to why unchecking the box in gconf locks it up?

Thanks

the wallpaper thing was exactly what i was looking for, i thought having all the sides of the cube with the same wallpaper looked boring. but i’m too new to ubuntu and compiz to figure it out initially but thanks to you this was perfect, thanks and since even with my xp desktop i got rid of the desktop icons to get a clean look it wasn’t a problem for me, cheers

I tried the wallpaper plugin, it works fine – however it means you need to set up a quick nautilus launcher to browse your desktop – or start putting everything in your home folder.

I set up shortcut to launch nautilus (but can just as quickly open gnome-do and type ‘ho’ end press Enter) however, I’d rather have the option of keeping my current work right on the desktop – so I’ll stick with my gnome desktop and leave compiz until it’s worked out how to do it properly.

It would be more interesting if there were a fast, simple switching script I could run by clicking a launcher.
