3ddesk - activates 3D-Desktop, a 3D desktop switcher.

3ddesk [ OPTIONS ]

3D Desktop is an OpenGL program for switching virtual desktops in a seamless 3-dimensional manner. The default "visualization" maps your screen onto an N-sided "carousel" which is rotated to select the next screen. When activated the current desktop appears to zoom out so as to make your desktop appear to be actually in a 3d environment with your other desktops.

Activates the 3D Desktop. 3ddeskd daemon must be running. Where OPTIONS are:

Uses the options from the view in 3ddesktop.conf
Sets the arrangement mode (one of carousel (default), cylinder, linear, viewmaster, priceisright, flip, or random).
Grab images for all the desktops by cycling thru (sleep for x millisecs at each screen for refresh)
Grab image for current desktop
Disable the zoom out
How fast the rotation or sliding of faces takes. Default is 40, must be between 1 and 300.

3ddesk --acquire

This starts the 3ddeskd server and acquires an image of each of your virtual desktops. It will cycle through each desktop and return to your current.

Bind a key combination to /usr/bin/3ddesk and press the bound key. This will bring you into a 3d environment where you choose your next desktop. If the server hasn't been started it will try to start it.

/etc/3ddesktop/3ddesktop.conf
