How to enable active corners aka Exposé in Ubuntu 9.10 with Ubuntu Tweak

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 posted by andreea

If you always wanted the Exposé effect on your Ubuntu Desktop, here you go!  Active corners, known from Mac as Exposé, allow you e.g. to see all your open windows at once just by one mouse move into the corner of the desktop. Very useful if you are a multi-tasking god or goddess!

First open you terminal and copy & paste:

sudo apt-key adv –recv-keys –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com FE85409EEAB40ECCB65740816AF0E1940624A220

Log in with your admin password and continue:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then add the following lines at the end of the file:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

The source of Ubuntu tweak will be added to your repository. Updates for Ubuntu-Tweak will be installed automatically in future. Install Ubuntu-Tweak:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak


위 방법으로 커맨드에서 하던지, Synaptic 관리자에서 해줘도 된다.
내 경우, 첫번째 apt-key 쪽 명령이 안먹혀서 Synaptic 관리자로 했음.

Before using Ubuntu-Tweak, make sure you enabled visual effects for your desktop. Go to System/Preferences/Appearance an check under Visual Effects “Normal”.
visualeffects

Check your system tools for Ubuntu-Tweak, open it and go to Desktop, then to Compiz Fusion as you can see here:
tweak tweak2 tweak3

Now you can enable a function for every corner, as you like. That’s it.

결론은, Ubuntu-Tweak 을 설치하는 것인데, 위 Expose 기능 말고도, 다양한 Tweak 들이 있으므로, 필수적으로 설치하면 좋은 유틸이다~ 아이조아~
