Anyone got any estimates on CPU/GPU usage if we finagled it through Compiz? I think that might be the only reasonable way to do this, and such a feature could likely well wait until compositing is more standardized across the Ubuntu desktop. Besides, aren't there more pressing visual niceties like that textured panel, nicer drop-shadows, etc? -Sumit -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
