Rotating desktops, separate wallpapers?

[Dngrsone]

I am trying out Mint 14 with Cinnamon, moving from Ubuntu 12.04.

What I would like to be able to do is ctrl+alt+[right-arrow] my way through all my desktops, like when using rotating cube in compiz... I suppose I could push compiz into the Mint installation, but that kind of defeats the purpose of going to Gnome 3 and the Cinnamon interface, no?

I know there is a hack to put separate wallpapers on each desktop, again by using compiz, but is there a way to do so in Gnome 3?

So far, I like the tool-bar, it being similar to the one I used in Ubuntu 10.04, though there is a lack of documentation on CInnamon, and so far I see very little in the way of customizability-- where are the options files?

Since I am playing one and twenty questions here, is there a way for Nemo to show hidden files?

Thank you for your consideration.

hi
welcome to the forum

I suppose I could push compiz into the Mint installation

please don't, not with cinnamon anyway: cinnamon and compiz are incompatible.

where are the options files?

open cinnamon settings; to edit the panel you need to put it in edit mode; you have a set of applets already installed (some not activated) and more applets here http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets (and extensions also http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/extensions)

s there a way for Nemo to show hidden files?

same as nautilus: view > show hidden files or ctrl + h

What I would like to be able to do is ctrl+alt+[right-arrow] my way through all my desktops

cinnamon settings > keyboard > keyboard shortcurts > workspace management (there's some already there, set others)

Thanks, zerozero! I will take a look-see at what can be done with Cinnamon...

What I would like to be able to do is ctrl+alt+[right arrow] to the last desktop, then do it again to get to desktop 1... is there a tool for that?
