Re: How do I make it do this?

that is a program called Compiz-Fusion.

to get it, first make sure you have the propriety drivers for your graphix card, then check taht 3d is working by typing this in konsole.

Code:

fgl_glxgears

if you get a cube spinning round with some gears in, you are all set. If not post back here.

then you need to install teh compiz packages.

Code:

sudo apt-get install compiz compiz-kde emerald compizconfig-settings-manager

and then if you have an ATI graphics card,

sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl libgl1-mesa xserver-xorg libglitz-glx

then reboot, log into XGl, and type
