Help blow up windows!

[uncleV]

There's a blow-up windows (or explode or smth.) mentioned in KDE 3d-effects but I didn't try it.

If compiz isn't running, you can go to KDE's configuration window, and go to the effects setting: turning it on, change some effects (sometimes you have to turn off 'blur' first) => then press apply, and see what happens.......

You can simply see if compiz is running by looking at the windows: do they have KDE's look or compiz' look?

Staar,
I suppose you are aware that enabling both Compiz and KDE 3d-effects causes malfunction in one or both of them?

I think they can't even function together (Kwin <=> Compiz)
: Compiz takes over everything, even the windowmanagement (some of your kde-bindings won't work too anymore)

Yes, I got it now.  I just didn't understand what Compiz and KDE actually were in the beginning.  Once I started from scratch and reinstalled PClinux and the proper drivers right away the CompizConfig app worked and Fusion Icon actually opened.   Compiz effects work fine, but disabling Compiz and using KDE was still giving me problems.  This PC will be for someone else and I decided it would be best to not have windows explode or burst into flames when they close.  I've had people complain that their monitor was cracked because the background I used resembled broken glass in the corner!  Not to mention people that used the cd tray as a cup holder.  I even heard of a guy who put his mouse on the floor and attempted to use it with his foot!  All i need is someone freaking out thinking their pc is on fire or trying to light their cigarette off of their monitor!  Thanks for all your suggestions.  I learned a lot just from everyone as far as installing the proper drivers and configuring effects.  Would have taken forever to get it right by trial and error.  Hopefully I'll be able to return the favor to a newcomer down the road...  Thanks again guys for all your time and effort with a newb...

All i need is someone freaking out thinking their pc is on fire or trying to light their cigarette off of their monitor!

That doesn't work?

Then there is certainly still something wrong with your effects

I've had people complain that their monitor was cracked because the background I used resembled broken glass in the corner!

Could you point me to such a wallpaper(s)? I'll joke with my Mome's account.

Hilarious!

I hope there's some 'overlay' picture available somewhere: using the native wallpaper, edit it with GIMP to add that layer and put it back on the Desktop 

About that CD-tray::: maybe there'll be a use for my CD trays from now ;;;  (haven't used them for a long time)
=> cool hot idea! 

[uncleV]

=> cool hot idea! 

Just tried it. Works like a charm!

Thanks for the Gimp hint.

I already imagine it:
Mom (in panic): The screen is broken!
Me: OMG! Let's see... M-m-m... really Well just do your job for now; I'll see what I can do later.
(Later)
Me (in my account): Mom! I've got some software and it fixed it( )
Mom:  
(Later)
Mom:The screen is broken again!!

         

[rubentje1991]

You xxxxxxx! (replace this with your imagination) 

Oh yeah, don't forget to move/delete the original, else it may be found out accidentally.....  (want to change wallpaper or so  )
=> if you're a real die-hard, you would edit ALL of them! 

[uncleV]

Thanks for advices!

I'll try this trick oh my daughter's account too (she is geeky though) but have to leave my wallpaper "uncracked" in order the joke to work.

I mean editing all possible wallpapers in the account of the other person.....
NOT YOUR OWN

The joke will be a short and light one

I imagine it with my daughter:
She (scribing): Dad, the glass of the monitor is cracked
Me: What what?! Where?... ...Yes it is!
She: But I don't feel it under my nail...
Me (scribing too): Hmm... Evidently it's on the inner side of the glass.
She: What we do now?
Me: Well... thinking on buying a new one? (Thinking) Well it's some dangerous, it could explode (it's 21 inches CRT). Sigh... I'll take the risk and work with it till we buy a new one... But what about you?
(Later...)
(she is often working in my account, so...)
She: Dad!!   The scratches disappeared
Me: Hmm... They certainly did it with a self-healing glass...
She:
Me: Laughing
