Ecomorph Cube

[rpmTECH]

Hey all,

  I'm fairly new to PCLinuxOS, and I have a question.  I have ecomorph enable in the light E17 distro (very cool by the way!), bu I cannot get the cube to work no matter what I do.  I set the custom keybind action to 0 5 0 0 0 as per another post from sidux.com regarding enabling the cube, but it won't work.  Did the action code change?  Please advise.  Thanks!  Otherwise this is a really nice implementation of E17!

Nevermind I figured it out for myself.

And how did you do it? Your solution may be of interest to other people too. I'm a KDE user, but I like the looks and speed of E17 an play with it occasionally. This ecomorph thing is quite new to me though, and your explanation might save me hours of experimenting.

Sorry it took so long to post a reply.  Been busy here at the homefront.  Go to your Ecomorph settings, click on General on the left hand side, then look for the section on the right called Viewport Plugins, and make sure you check off Cube(rotate desks) and Rotate(required by cube), then click apply on the bottom.  Then you'll have to go setup either a keybinding (Settings Panel, Input tab, Key Bindings) or a Mouse Binding (Settings Panel, Input tab, Mouse Bindings), click on the Add Binding button and follow the instructions to capture the keyboard / mouse combo.  Once you have done that scrol down on the right hand side to the Ecomorph section and click on Custom Action.  At the bottom there's a textbox that says Action Params.  In that box type:  0 5 0 0 0, after that click apply.  You should then be able to make the cube come up with whatever key / mouse combo you used.  Sorry I don't have screenshots.

when I do that it locks up my gui. I have to ctrl + alt + backspace and relogin...can't do anything.

If I enable the two check boxes for the cube, then the background disappears and I see all four sides through the cube...very frustrating...Guess it's why it's still in beta
