Top and bottom faces doesn't have the same size as the other faces and
the rotation of windows on top and bottom faces would be different
relative to other faces. Due to this it can't be implemented properly as
long as the cube plugin uses viewports. It could be done if the cube was
implemented using multiple workspaces instead but then you wouldn't have
a real relationship between cube sides, of course.

You probably want to use the plane plugin or increase the number of
sides for the cube plugin.
