When I started using Linux more than a decade ago, it was because of the 3D desktop cube of Compiz. Even if this was a pretty useless feature, I am still missing it today. As we already have the awesome Compiz-alike windows effects, I thought it was time to revive 3D workspaces as well!
For a list of things changed in previous releases, you can have a look at the changelog!
While coding new features is the most awesome way to contribute, providing financial support will help me stay motivated to invest my spare time to keep the project alive in the future.
Do you want to show that you love it too? You may become a sponsor for as little as 1$ / month! If you like this extension, you may also want to try one of my other extensions: 🔥 Burn-My-Windows or 🍰 Fly-Pie!
You can either install the Desktop Cube extension from extensions.gnome.org (a), download a stable release
from GitHub (b) or clone the latest version directly with git (c).
This is the easiest way to install the Desktop Cube extension. Just head over to extensions.gnome.org and flip the switch! If you want to use a more up-to-date version, you can try one of the methods listed below.
Execute this command to download the latest stable release:
wget https://github.com/Schneegans/Desktop-Cube/releases/latest/download/[email protected]Install it by executing the following command. If you have the Desktop Cube extension already installed and want to upgrade to
the latest version, append the --force flag in order to overwrite existing installs of the Desktop Cube extension.
gnome-extensions install [email protected]Then restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the Gnome Tweak Tool, the Extensions application or with this command:
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]You should not clone the Desktop Cube extension directly to the ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions directory as this may get overridden occasionally!
Execute the clone command below where you want to have the source code of the extension.
git clone https://github.com/Schneegans/Desktop-Cube.git
cd Desktop-CubeNow you will have to install the extension.
The make command below compiles the locales, schemas and resources, creates a zip file of the extension and finally installs it with the gnome-extensions tool.
make installThen restart GNOME Shell with Alt + F2, r + Enter. Or logout / login if you are on Wayland. Then you can enable the extension with the Gnome Tweak Tool, the Extensions application or with this command:
gnome-extensions enable [email protected]
I want to contribute!That's great! Here are some basic rulles to get you started: Commits should start with a Capital letter and should be written in present tense (e.g. 🎉 Add cool new feature instead of 🎉 Added cool new feature). You should also start your commit message with one applicable emoji. This does not only look great but also makes you rethink what to add to a commit. Make many but small commits!
