eeePC 1000, new install of Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook edition. This is the new Mutter-based UI, which I'm still trying to figure out. I'm hoping the final version is snappier than this.

iPwnage,

What distro is that you are using...I have never seen a computer to look so cool. I am very tempted to get this.

Keep in mind, i'm a complete newb to linux but this just looks amazing

sorry just saw your post now, yes impresses most linux n00bs, first step in getting peeps to make the jump from windows !!
ubuntu 10.10...well 10.04 in the video

just install [URL="apt:fusion-icon"]compiz[/URL] then [URL="apt:compiz-fusion-plugins-extra"]compiz extra plugins[/URL] and play around for the different effects, rotate the desktop cube by holding mouse wheel button
enable desktop effects via right click your desktop and visual effects tabs
and besure your graphics driver has been activated

Hi iPwnage, after installing the effects above how do you activate them or get them to work?

ok for the first step make sure you have effects enables, right click empty desktop area and select, change desktop background, in the next screen select visual effects tab and select Extra !

next is set up animations : go to applications>system tools> compiz fusion icon

youll see it running top right of your panel, right click it and go to settings manager

select the Desktop Category on the left, the important ones here for my setup are desktop cube and rotate cube, so select those, and others if you want, wall will automatically be disabled due to conflict, thats fine

now the effect category: i have selected 3d windows, animations, animations addons, fading windows, window decor and wobbly windows

now to set event animations, go to animations: click the magic lamp
open animation>edit>random>duration 103
close animation>edit>airplane>duration 279
minimize animation> edit>burn>duration>103
shade>random>102
focus>dodge>403

thats it, should give you some sweet eye candy
to rotate the cube, hold the wheel of the mouse while in an empty space on the desktop
there are 100's of animations i havent shown, you can set your own shortcuts for them, check out youtube !!

:cool:
