Turning off Ubuntu desktop cube rotation

Asked By Darcie 220 points N/A Posted on - 05/24/2011

Hi

I have recently upgraded my Ubuntu desktop to unity. But the look and feel in not of my type, seriously. The desktop workspace switching is, good kids eye candy but not pleasing my old eyes. How do I remove this animation and just get a simple quick switch.

Open a terminal window and type “ccsm”. The software should be able to guide you, out of the kindergarten !

Thanks, that’s a good tool. I can use it to disable other head spinners too.

But there are a lot of options. Can you briefly tell me, which one shall turn off this cubic rotation?

You can completely disable those features;  uncheck, "Show Viewport Switcher Preview" and   set, "Non Sliding Windows" to "any”.
