Enables the Windows Wobble When Moved effect. With this effect on, when you grab
the title bar of the window to move it, the window will wobble as it moves. Menus and
other items that open on the desktop also wobble.
Enables the Workspaces on a Cube effect. Drag a window from the desktop to the right or
the left, and the desktop will rotate like a cube, with each of your desktop workspaces
appearing as a side of that cube. Drop the window on the workspace where you want it
to go. You can also click on the Workspace Switcher applet in the bottom panel to rotate
the cube to display different workspaces.
Other nice desktop effects result from using the Alt+Tab key combination to tab among different
running windows. As you press Alt+Tab, a thumbnail of each window scrolls across the screen and
the window it represents is highlighted.
Figure 3-13 shows an example of a Compiz desktop with AIGLX enabled. With Alt+Tab pressed,
thumbnails of several GIMP windows (containing house pictures) scroll from right to left. The
middle, highlighted thumbnail represents the window that is currently selected.
If you get tired of wobbling windows and spinning cubes, you can easily turn off the AIGLX 3D
effects and return Metacity as the window manager. Just select System???Preferences???Desktop
Effects again and toggle off the Enable Desktop Effects button to turn off the feature.
