For me, yes. I usually have multiple applications open at the same time - Eclipse, Firefox, Konsole, OO Writer, sometimes Amarok, Konqueror. It makes it a lot easier if I can get a glance which are the applications that are open on a particular desktop. Alt-tabbing is ok, but there comes a time where it is one tab too many. And sometimes you want to get a reference on one window while you type something in another. Alt-tabbing can be really tiring and resizing windows is too much trouble. Here is where transparency is really useful. I've used it on more occasions than I think I would. When doing presentation, I like the zoom in function alot as well. A good opportunity to show off my laptop while providing a really useful feature. Kudos to all the Compiz developers for developing such a neat feature. I'd like to say thank you here as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
