Check out 360desktop for Windows if you like that.

Similar concept.

Never heard of this till now. Did they go under? That page isn't loading right for me and clicking on Gallery returns a 503 error message of no server available to handle the request.

Interesting none the less.

Yeah, I think that's compiz. Or at least last time I used compiz it had the same feature.

Awsome doc zipper Suse

Doc, I have installed suse 11.3 with KDE, Nvidia driver installed and working desktop enhancements.
Can you give me a clue to emulate your great setup. Not sure what’s needed to achieve.

Thanks

Yeh, I'm pretty sure that's just a Compiz feature he's so excited about.

I've gotten the same thing working on other linux installs... I'm pretty sure I can do it on gnome but I know for sure I've gotten it working on an old kde desktop

It's plasma. I tried to use compiz, but it was a resource hog....and I like the functionality of plasma better.

I am using straight KDE 4.5. I updated my KDE through YaST, and haven't had to use any other gadgets for eye candy.

The rotation that I am using is being done by hitting Ctrl-F9 (or F10--I forgot the default), and you will see the rotation. The notes that I am using are called notes in the plasmoid widgets. The Desktop Folder on top is a default plasmoid that is installed on your desktop when you first start using KDE. The calendar is another plasmoid widget.

Over on the right, I am using a conky script to detail my system monitoring. I've detailed my journey getting conky to work correctly, but I will be happy to help you if you get stuck in a certain area. If I don't have the answer, I will try to point you in the right direction.

Doc , thanks, I will shout out if i need a hand, but there is no rush. I installed Gnome and didn't like it , then KDE. Your info will more likely get me in the right direction , but if not I'm glad i can call on you .
