Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 by Arvin Schnell Digg!

We (Thomas Göttlicher, J. Daniel Schmidt and Arvin Schnell) have use all our
remaining ITO for this really cool feature.

Normally compiz (more precisely the cube module) shows each desktop on the
surface of a cuboid. Since we don’t have several desktops during installation
we decided to show the “wizard” steps on the cuboid. Pressing “Next” or “Back”
rotates the cuboid around the y-axis:

screenshot1

Entering a “subwizard” rotates the cuboid around the x-axis:

screenshot2

Fortunately most computers are fast enough to render the 3D-scene even without
special hardware support that we lack during installation.

Will be available in Factory within the next weeks. Comments are welcome.

Awesome! I know it’s a joke, but it might look really cool…if the drivers for the graphics card are built-in. Do you think you can do it for 11.2?

I hate it. Linux can be beautifull; don’t make ‘a great show’ and ‘big fun’ of it please.
