I have my compiz working, I even managed to make a cube with 4 workspaces:guitar: I have a 2d workspace that spins like a cube when i change. and i can flatten the cube to show all workspaces.

But i wondered, what option or setting i would use to zoom out from the workspace to leave a visible cube on the desk top, like the video

Place your mouse anywhere on the desktop, and middle-click on your mouse, and hold.

ctrl+alt+left-click

#5

ctrl+alt+left-click

This will only take you to desktop 4, as ctrl+alt+right-click will take you to desktop 2.

but in the cube-rotate plugin of compiz-fusion isn that the default to zoom out on the cube? itś what i use and i never changed it.

This is my default. As you can see Ctrl-Alt-Left will rotate the desktop to the left.

I was just being stupid, LOL

I had zoom switched off.
