The Beryl Wall

I’ve been using the Beryl Window Manager for some time, and i’m currently very satisfied with it. As most of you probably know, Beryl incorporates a compositing manager, which enables it to deliver some cool “3D” effects.

One of the recently added features is the “Desktop Wall”. It hasn’t made it into the releases yet, but it’s available through the SVN (Development) code. The Desktop Wall plugin provides you with an overview of your virtual desktops, allowing you to interact normally with windows on all your desktops. The cube plugin also allows for switching between desktops in a much faster and less “work-interrupting” manner than what is known from the famous Cube Plugin.

  1. Jeg bemærker en rødbrun top-bar i den aktive browser. Er du sikker på, at du ikke bruger Ubuntu?

  2. Det er jeg ret sikker på, Mr. Cholesterol Free Desktop :-P .
    Den er vist faktisk Bordeau-rød – Beryls Window Decorations’ standard-farve, og samtidig Debians logo-farve, mind you. :-)
