Description Sven Olaf Oostenbrink 2025-11-17 19:09:59 UTC
In the past, when I switched virtual desktops (Either by clicking a different desktop on the virtual desktop switcher in the main panel, or by pressing CTRL-F# (Where # would be 1-6 for one of my 6 virtual dekstops) the desktop would "switch" by showing the cube rotating to that desktop.

For one it was a nice visual indication that a desktop was switched, but it was also additional eye candy that I used to convince people that KDE and Linux are awesome and that they should try it. 

Currently, I can only see the cube with some keyboard combo that just makes it a gimmicky thing that I'll never touch, even when enabled.
