I've seen ton a few Macs on the web but can't find the app. It looks like a cube instead of the pains. Anyone know where this app is?

Are you referring to the virtual desktop application that has the option to use the "Cube" transition effect?

If so, it sorta and barely works in Leopard. Works in Tiger just fantastic.

Could also be the fast user switching - that looks like a rotating cube.

Wasn't that an early version of Parallels? There was another virtual product that did it also, which is where it was copied from.

No that was a virtual desktop manager. Not a virtual emulator.

Virtual Desktop is one product.

Desktop Manager is another (http://desktopmanager.berlios.de/)

Parallels will swap between VM and Desktop via Cube effect.\

Fast user switching will do it as well I believe which sorta emulates (although a bit more of a resource hog IMO) independant desktops.

OP needs to be specific in what he/she is looking for.

You're referring to the ability to cover the speaker grills (light sensor) and 'cube' between spaces?

He is no longer developing the product.

When you say "panes" what panes are you referring to? There's no subject in your sentence.

My first though was the cube interface that you can get for quicksilver - which can be enabled under plugins.

It is hard to explain I guess instead of using spaces 2-D it spaces 3-D cube looking, thanks for all the feedback.:)

you might be referring to Ubuntu.
