Ubuntu Users

(or anyone using Gnome & Nautilus)

paste these 2 lines into the console

Code:

---

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false

---

Code:

---

/usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -root

---

Then press Ctrl+C

To revert back, type

Code:

---

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true && nautilus

---

Then press Ctrl+C


*edit*
haven't worked out how to get the desktop icons over the top yet, but working on it

What exactly does this do?

puts the OpenGL Matrix screensaver as your wallpaper

Just because I'm not being sarcastic doesn't mean they aren't watching you.

I'm surprised they don't have an option to do that in the XGL setup. Every other major operating system can do that, even Windows.

I think cause at the end of the day, in all honesty, it's not useful at all and purely a gimmick

for any "use" this could have (kiosk's, for example) there's already better ways of doing it

Hehe, this is pretty nifty... if anything it makes me dizzy :P
