Hi,
I want to impress my friend by showing them the Windows 7 Look on Linux
and persuade them to ditch Windows and use Linux.
I have enabled compiz and some effects. Anybody knows how to take
screenshot of the Ring Switcher ?

The screenshot utility in Gnome should allow you to set a delay on the
screenshot.

The bling-bling of Compiz is a poor selling point for the real potential
of Linux, and I don't believe you should try to "persuade" anyone to
switch OSs.

I don't use GNOME (I don't have it installed, switched to KDE completely).
In KSnapshot (native KDE app) you can set a delay too.
As far as I have seen, the moment people hear the name 'Linux' it
reminds them of the console. They think, Linux sucks in GUI sometimes
even they think it has no GUI. So this is important. Why do you think
other mainstream distros like Ubuntu and Fedora spend so much time on
Eye Candy ?
There is a difference between forcing users to switch to Linux (which I think
is a bad choice) and teaching them what is Linux today (GUI, tools,
choice...). It's not improtant that your friends will not use Linux, but they
will tell their friends the truth about current state of Linux and these will
tell their friends etc...and possibly, as this will spread there will be
someone who will try to use Linux and maybe will stick with it. I think that
this is the proper way how to spread Linux.
But maybe I'm just too optimistic :-)

That's the main aim for which I want to do this. By showing them the
screenshots which will look "awesome" to them, it may be possible to win
their minds.
