ChevronX Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Compiz for Windows XP? http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz#Wobbly Does anyone know if there is something similar for Windows XP? or if there is a version for it. I was rather impressed with it in Ubuntu and wish to have it, especially the Wobbly feature in Windows XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 There is nothing like this for windows unless you count Vista's Areo, do notice how Windows is behind every other OS again ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 There is nothing like this for windows unless you count Vista's Areo, do notice how Windows is behind every other OS again ;) Bullshit. Compiz must be the most annoying thing I have ever had the displeasure of using. Its pointless eye candy, and nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 but that isn't what this thread is about VaKo ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Heh, from my point of view the last thing I want is my desktop giving me acid flashbacks. Compiz just feels like someone went "HEY LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO!!", rather than "Lets make a usuable product, something that looks attractive yet retains the functionality of a normal desktop". And yet people keep pimping this rather [asthetically) crappy tech demo as some kinda kick in the balls to vista. I'll stick this in my pile of "If linux wants to be mainstream it needs to grow up fast" retorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Compiz adds usfull functionality, the most noticable of which are: Live Alt-Tab view of windows That thing where you press a button and it seperates all the windows On the fly editable window transparancy These are the most usfull of all the functionality that is added, not paticually much, but it's a start. I'm sure the devs of Compiz will come up with some more usfull features at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Its not about features, its about how you apply those features. They desperatly need to get a asthetic design team in and do some research into how people respond to there product. Linux's main downfall is the fact that genrally the entire dev team is made up of nothing but programmers who seldom think beyond features. They don't understand that 99% of people are not programmers, and not geeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 https://lg3d.dev.java.net/lg3d-related-technologies.html Short answer: Its not going to be like compiz or areo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
