NAME
       3ddesk - activates 3D-Desktop, a 3D desktop switcher.

SYNOPSIS
       3ddesk [ OPTIONS ]

DESCRIPTION
       3D  Desktop  is	an  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.

SETUP
       3ddesk --acquire

       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.

USAGE
       Bind a key combination to /usr/bin/3ddesk  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.

FILES
       /etc/3ddesktop/3ddesktop.conf
