xcompmanager is the 'simplest' compsitioning manager/program you can think of, it only reparents all windows to offscreen storage and renders the visible screen using 'compositioning' ie. OpenGL or similar in order to give effects that is hard to do otherwise.
So if you can do what xcompamanger can do, youre on your way to something like compiz or kwin, ie. 3D effects on the desktop or simpler effects. For example transparent windows are easy to do. Provided it is possible to integrate a module tight enough, it should be able to do what the MAC interface or compiz does in desktop effects. I am only doing it to se if I can, and I don't know if I have the time to make it usable. / Lars 2011/4/20 <[email protected]>: > Lars Segerlund <[email protected]> writes: > >> Hello , >> >> I am trying to build a module using the composite extension of X, >> mainly xcompmgr functionality for now ... is anyone else interested or >> have some opinions ? views ? >> >> I have a good idéa of the X part, but I have never written a fvwm >> module before, so any hints are welcome .... especially if anyone have >> some problems they can foresee . >> >> Also would 2.6.1 or 2.7.x be the correct branch to use ? > > 2.6.1. > > The complete documentation for the module interface is here: > > http://fvwm.org/documentation/dev_modules.php > > IMO, the best module to use as an example is FvwmAnimate. > > What can xcompmgr do for Fvwm? >
