FYI, compiz has an unsuported plugin to do tiling, but I don't think it is really useable.
IMHO, the people who write tiling wm do not like eye-candy effects. I guess it is because a tiling wm is designed to make you gain time, whereas shiny effects are more likely to consume resources and to make you loose time. I would also bet that writing this kind of extensions is likely to make the code ugly, and that is in itself a good reason for not writing it. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
