I wrote yesterday about how to get snow falling on your desktop! Best part is I have been running it for over 3 days straight and have had no problems. Today we have something to go along with this wintery theme: A snow globe! Here are the instructions:<\/p>\n
WARNING!!!!<\/strong> I have to say if you do not know much about the command line you could get yourself into trouble. I am fairly good at the command line as I start to use it more and more. WARNING!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Open Terminal.<\/p>\n 2. go to the folder compiz: cd ~\/compiz\/<\/p>\n 3. You need a few packages: to install if you do not already have them: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-bcop compiz-dev compizconfig-settings-manager build-essential libtool libglu1-mesa-dev libxss-dev libcairo2-dev git-core<\/p>\n 4. Now lets create the snowglobe from source.<\/p>\n 5. go into ~\/compiz\/ and copy this command: git clone git:\/\/anongit.compiz-fusion.org\/fusion\/plugins\/snowglobe<\/p>\n 6. It should now download.<\/p>\n 7. When it is done go to the snowglobe folder: cd snowglobe<\/p>\n 8. Now we only have three steps left: You should be done. If you want to enable it go to System->Preferences->Compiz Config Settings Manager and enable Snow Globe.<\/p>\n I have not been able to figure out why it does not work so well for me. If you have any ideas just leave a comment and I will try them out and if they work they will be posted.<\/p>\n Ryan Orser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I wrote yesterday about how to get snow falling on your desktop!
