Yes, i agree that this has a lot of useless eyecandy.. But i still
remain convinced that some of them can improve usability, e.g. a quick
animation on a popup window or menu can help your eye identify it
faster (our eyes see things better when they move), or, when
exchanging/moving windows, seeing
One of the more interesting features of the new compiz fusion is
annotate. Allows you to use your mouse pointer as a virtual marker
and mark objects on screen, etc. Very useful for presentation

hey guys,
I've been hearing a lot about Compiz-Fusion lately. I've been

A while back (pre-dwm) someone mentioned a great side effect with WMII and
composite... instead of just highlighting the borders of the active
window, they also had a drop shadow.
I tried it once, too. Pretty. But not all that beneficial for the overhead
(then again, this was a while ago).

I guess you could have use for it if you wanted to make a movie gui for

Hi,
So Compiz is in itself a window manager?
Yes, it is, and you generally use it in conjunction with Gnome, Kde,
Xfce or another desktop. Your message made me smile because I just
