.SH NAME
3ddesk - 3d desktop switcher
.SH SYNOPSIS
3ddesk [ OPTIONS ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
3d Desktop is a GNOME OpenGL program for switching virtual desktops in a
seamless 3-dimensional manner. The default "visualization" maps your
screen onto an N-sided "carousel" which is rotated to select the next
screen. When activated the current desktop appears to zoom out so as to
make your desktop appear to be actually in a 3d environment with your
other desktops.

.SH SETUP
3ddesk \-\-acquire
.PP
This starts the 3ddeskd server and acquires an image of each of your
virtual desktops. It will cycle through each desktop and return to your
current.
.SH USAGE
Bind a key combination to \fB/usr/bin/3ddesk\fR and press the bound key.
This will bring you into a 3d environment where you choose your next
desktop. If the server hasn't been started it will try to start it.
.PP
Add a global keybinding ("shortcut") via the window manager to run
/usr/bin/3ddesk. Something like C-M-s (Control-Meta/Alt-s) or whatever
won't conflict with anything else. When you press this key combination
3ddesk signals 3ddeskd to start up and it zooms out to show you the "3d
visualization" of your desktops. Then you select the screen you want to
switch to by pressing ENTER.
.SH FILES
/etc/3ddesktop/3ddesktop.conf
