[leglug-users] Elive 1.0 'Gem' Released

Sun Jul 8 16:52:13 EDT 2007

As I said I cannot cubeless .... another thing I like it to have the
smallest window borders possible so as to save as mush real estate as
possible.
Multiple desktops are great, but you cannot see what is on the next windows.
Try using a semi transparent cube (50%) and you will be able to see what is
happening on most of your desktops at once...
