what is the path to the image being used? In Compiz, this was originally set by choosing the image (Cube Caps). Also, do hooks still exist to set the 'zoom' independently for the 'cube', 'cylinder', and 'sphere' animations? That is needed as setting the zoom for the cube makes the sphere unusable and makes the cylinder animation too small. Setting the zoom to make the cylinder look right makes the cube to big and the sphere still unusable. Setting the zoom on the sphere properly, makes both the cube and cylinder tiny. They originally had independent zoom settings (Compiz 0.8.8, etc..) If the software hooks still exist for independent zoom, it shouldn't be too much work to add two additional sliders to the [Advanced] tab of the setting dialog. Also the 'sphere cap deformation' slider does not work on the 'sphere caps', instead it works by scaling the whole sphere into an oval which causes the desktop to fly off the sphere with a setting anywhere close to 50% or above. This is wrong, (an incorrect implementation). The desktop portion of the sphere should remain unchanged regardless of the sphere cap deformation, and only the radius of the 'caps' should reduced as the 'cap deformation' increases (toward the plane end of the slider). This may be worth a bug, because as it is, the 'sphere cap deformation' setting is basically useless. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
