Well, it was one of Compiz's flagship plugins when it first came out. It's recognisable and has a high "wow" effect, meaning it can be used to quickly demonstrate Ubuntu's compositing to people unfamiliar with it.
That aside, it is extremely useful to keep track of passive windows while interacting with another app. It has always made my interaction with Ubuntu much more satisfactory for me. I understand it can be enabled from CCSM (provided you install it first) but, then again, so can every other plugin. Finally, the alt+scroll combination is not used for anything else so there is little gain in disabling it IMO. -- Re-enable Opacity, Brightness and Saturation plugin by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271022 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
