--- Comment #67 from Maximilian Böhm <m...@elbmurf.de> --- kwin-effects-cube works for me on Arch (there is a "kwin-effects-cube" AUR script for Plasma 5). Already tried it a year ago. Glad about its existence but… Currently, it’s just a demo. Maybe viable to wow Windows users but that’s not why I was using the old cube effect. It’s not possible to use this effect as virtual desktops switching transition, there are no stacked windows in 3D, you cannot drag the desktop with a key combo + mouse without centering the view first, there is no transparency, no reflection, you need an extra click to get to a certain virtual desktop, there are glitches with background images, I’m not a big fan of the open spaced borders… It’s great someone made this plugin but currently, it isn’t there yet. I want to cite my comment here about the Gnome extension "Desktop-Cube": https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883#c29 »But I have to admit, the Gnome extension looks neat. I wouldn’t switch to Gnome (LOL) but it demonstrates the UX potential the cube effect has. Look at its GitHub page: https://github.com/schneegans/Desktop-Cube – there are a couple of really great UI/UX ideas in the GIFs. Combine this with touch, like in the video demo and it gets astonishing. Nobody wanted to touch the cube effect in Kwin for a decade, which effectively made it freeze in its 2010ish code base and UI paradigms, but this effect holds so much potential if you think it through.« The Gnome extension currently is at v17. It has integration and transition effects into Gnome’s overview effect, recognizes you holding the desktop, has 3D stacked windows and so much more. This is possible. I’m even willing to found a bounty for the Plasma cube to get more love: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883#c33 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
