Alessandro17 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Now that is a very stylish way to change desktops! I would love to get my hands on that!! Many Linux distributions have that either out of the box or easily available.

Zealot Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 about the question of this topic. i think of course that its posible osx being based on unix that should be easy to port at least. saludos.ciao Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40140-3d-destkop-for-osx/#findComment-286770 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am wrong.

Casey M Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 looks like... damn, i forgot the name, but it rotated the screen in that way when you clicked different apps the only thing i can think of is virtuedesktops. move the app to a virtual desktop and change the transition to cube?

Proteo Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I just zoomed the image. It is obviously photoshopped, Firefox windows are there but the dock icon clearly shows that it is not even running, among other strange things.

Synaesthesia Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) Aaah, but if it were a genuine screenshot, it would also appear so, unless Beryl uses FSAA and really nice anisotropic filtering etc... (Just playing the devils advocate, I think it's photoshopped as well) It does make we wonder thought, wasn't there some talk about this kind of thing earlier?

rileys Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 lol that picture is compiz on linux, u may notice th GTK themed screenshot box, the firefox theme aswell as in the console window its got LVM partitions that mac doesnt use, as far as i know compiz wont work on mac because it depends on an opengl rendering xorg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40140-3d-destkop-for-osx/#findComment-287168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRP Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I've never tried it I can imagine it would be possible one day, but for now, you could probably be content to write code that fakes some of the features using things like "CGSSetWindowWarp".

The OSX stuff you see in those screens is the wallpaper. The person running this comp set the wallpaper to an OSX screenshot then took a screenshot of their linux box running Beryl (or compiz) with the OSX screen as the wallpaper. I'm not saying the OP did this but whoever took these screens did. Hope to help clear things up if anyone thought this was actually running on OSX. -sdelano Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40140-3d-destkop-for-osx/#findComment-294620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirly Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Looks alot like xgl for linux. I know it from Kororaa. Xgl on openSUES. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40140-3d-destkop-for-osx/#findComment-298867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paquito Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 The person running this comp set the wallpaper to an OSX screenshot then took a screenshot of their linux box running Beryl (or compiz) with the OSX screen as the wallpaper. I'm not saying the OP did this but whoever took these screens did. Thought so. I noticed that the menu bar is somewhat short on the far left side, and that you'd see an overlap with Gnome menu bar. Also, with how the other windows are in their 3D space while those supposedly OS X windows aren't, you can then tell that it's not OS X as the default in Beryl/Compiz using the 3D plugins would have all windows move to 3D space when doing the cube rotate.
