I was thinking if it is possible to integrate Mac OS X-like look to the
upper panel? From my perspective, it'll zip space on the screen. Also,
it'll be very nice to add more shades to the panels like it done in 2009.06.
It's very nice effect.

When I adjust same pixel/inch resolution (usually 96) on Win XP and on OS,
same OpenType font doesn't look same on the display. I have feeling that Win
XP
display cleaner (better) fonts. Could it be changed?

P.S: Sorry we haven't met on C1 West. I have searched for you.

Subject: [xwin-discuss] X plans for 2010.02

Since I had to make a list for our internal product planning today, and
there's
nothing secret in it, I figured I'd share it here.

This is what we're planning on working on over the next 6 months and hope to
get into the 2010.02 release, but as always, nothing's firm until it's
finished,
and this is just a high level list, doesn't include all the implementation
details like specific device drivers or library versions.

-------- Original Message --------

For X, our user-visible plans for 2010.02 currently include:

 - Xorg server updates (already updated from 1.5 to 1.6 in
   nv_116, community 1.7 release tentatively scheduled for
   August/Sept., will try to include in 2010.02 if it doesn't
   slip too far).
   User features from these updates:
   Xorg 1.6:
   http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=xorg_server_16&num=1
    - RandR 1.3 - panning & general output device transformations
        http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=search&q=RandR+1.3
    - Xinput 1.5 - input device properties
        http://who-t.blogspot.com/2008/10/device-properties-have-landed.html
    - DRI 2 - updates to direct rendering infrastructure used by Intel
graphics
   Xorg 1.7 & X11R7.5: http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/7.5

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-May/000996.html

 - VNC: moving from RealVNC (dead community) to TigerVNC
   (active community, adopted by Fedora, merging in TurboVNC,
    which is also shipped in the repo by the Visualization
    packages) - http://www.tigervnc.com/

 - Adding XCB libraries - a new C language binding layer to
   the X11 protocol (i.e. replacement for libX11) that a
   number of other open source packages (such as compiz) are
   starting to require. - http://xcb.freedesktop.org/

 - Changes to X packaging:
   - participating in WOS-wide package renaming
   - package refactoring to better map to upstream modules
   - once the WOS docks are ready, building & delivering the
     renamed/refactored IPS packages directly from our builds to
     the WOS, instead of requiring comay to convert each build
