In Ubuntu 8.10 I had the Cube Atlantis plugin - an aquarium with dolphins and sharks was visible inside the cube when turned by mouse. Now, in the 9.04 I also installed the same plugin. I was surprised, now I had freshwater fishes instead of the oddly moving sharks and whales. It is much nicer than before, and we can chose from more kind of fishes in any color and translucency. I added few hundred fishes and it was still fast. In the compizconfig settings we can set the desktop to be not cube, but round shaped, just like a table aquarium.
It is 10 times better than was before, very nice, although there are places for improvements. The fishes sometimes turning rugged, specially in vertical direction. The default fish colors could be like the real fishes, could be more and nicer corals. The buttom of the aquarium and the water on the top is ugly (switched off in the screenshot).
How to install the control panel and all compiz plugins?
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-*
