SYNOPSIS 3ddesk [ OPTIONS ] DESCRIPTION 3D Desktop is an OpenGL program for switching virtual desktops in a seam- less 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. OPTIONS Activates the 3D Desktop. 3ddeskd daemon must be running. Where OPTIONS are: --view=xxx Uses the options from the view in 3ddesktop.conf --mode=xxx Sets the arrangement mode (one of carousel (default), cylinder, lin- ear, viewmaster, priceisright, flip, or random). --acquire[=#] Grab images for all the desktops by cycling thru (sleep for x mil- lisecs at each screen for refresh) --acquirecurrent Grab image for current desktop --nozoom Disable the zoom out --changespeed How fast the rotation or sliding of faces takes. Default is 40, must be between 1 and 300. --zoomspeed How fast it zooms in an out.

It will cycle through each desktop and return to your cur- rent. USAGE 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.
