Coverflow ALT-TAB- A nice extension for Cinnamon

Written by M. Zinoune on February 28, 2012. Posted in eyecandy, Linux Mint, Software

Coverflow ALT-TAB is a great extension for cinnamon that let’s you Alt-Tab through your windows in a cover-flow manner.

Installation of Coverflow extension:

1- Download coverflow extension from this link

2- Extract the extension to your desktop and copy it to ~.local/share/cinnamon/extensions , ~.local is a hidden folder in your home directory, unhide folders before to copy.

You can do that also by command line, first extract the file and copy it to ~.local folder:

cp -r CoverflowAltTab@dmo60.de ~.local/share/cinnamon/extensions

3- When installed, go to cinnamon settings ( Menu–>Preferences–> Cinnamon settings)and activate the extension

Then activate the extension:

4- Now restart cinnamon, ALT + F2 and type r.

Now use the extension by pressing ALT+TAB

That`s all.

      navigate to folder, check permissions. if they are root, sudo nautilus, go to folder, change permissions to yourself as user – remember “same permissions for files in folder” – and: whoops

ok, That’s great. But Linux Deepin 3D Alt-Tab Swither much cool than that. @1f19783304454682ae048f48d38e53c0:disqus can download from http://packages.linuxdeepin.com/deepin/pool/main/d/deepin-gse/deepin-gse-windows-alt-grave-3d_1.0.16-0deepin2_all.deb . Then use advanced settings to turn it on. Hotkey is Alt+`.
Just have a try!

  BTW, the Linux Deepin 3D Alt-Tab Swither video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k5uInp3-Ks . It seems much better than we can image.
