Ben, I've played with ccsm at length to try to get the 3D behaviour, but with no luck. In the 'Desktop' section I currently have Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube enabled with all the default options chosen in each. Should I be enabling some other plugins or making other changes in ccsm as well to get the correct operation?
BTW, I'm not sure I exactly understood your question. When I Ctrl-Alt-Right or Ctrl-Alt-Left the "cube" rotates properly to the next/previous face or viewport. I also have Ctrl-F1 -> Ctrl-F9 successfully rotating to face 1 through 9 as well. That all works. What isn't happening is that on Ctrl-Alt-Down I don't get a true 3D image a la the demo video I've seen, but instead just that set of flat scrollable faces which I can then shift left and right to select the one I want when I release the Ctrl-Alt key combo. This puts the currently rotated face back on my desktop in fullscreen. The interface I'm seeing is more like a semi-distant wall in the middle 1/3 of the screen with a ribbon of panels representing each face that can be shifted left or right, as opposed to a true 3D cube with full perspective. Even cube reflection "works" in this current setup with the faces each reflected in the lower 1/3 of the window. I can try to do a screen capture (not sure exactly how in this environment) to show you what I mean, if that would help. Again, thanks muchly. --ted Ben Kevan said the following on 11/10/2007 04:50 PM: > On Saturday 10 November 2007 12:49:25 pm Ted Markowitz wrote: > >> Ben, >> >> Thanks for trying to help us out here.
