How about some Compositioning news?
by Max on Thursday 21/Feb/2008, @14:37

There hasn't been ANY NEWS WHATSOEVER about NEW compositioning effects.
Could somebody please remedy that?
Kwin doesn't even have 1/2 the features of compiz fusion yet. An even they are years old now. When are you going to release new (useful) effects? |

When someone writes them, of course. This isn't rocket-science, people!

Are you trying to tell me I'm the only person on this blue/green planet that wants more desktop effects?
I always thought it's: "demand it - and they will build it?" No? =)

I know that this was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but the answer is "no" - with volunteer-driven software, if no one steps up to do a task, then the task doesn't get done. Full stop.

I guess the main news is optimization :). It's SLOW on my system (and Compiz is fast). Also, first-things-first: Plasma, KDEPIM, etc needs work.

Perhaps when the glitches are out of the compositing stuff, first a stable and fast a compositing base, is more important than those extra effects no one uses for more than a day.
Compiz is nice and fast and has great effects, but it falls short on the window management part, sadly, otherwise I'd use it over kwin anyday.

Agree, glitches and speed are awful. Especially on older machines.
I wish it were just possible to merge the best parts of Compiz and Kwin together.
Compiz knows how to do compositioning, Kwin is a great window manager; Together there are Compiz-win, the greatest superhero desktop fighter in the galaxy! *cue cheesy superhero movie music*
Why is development on Kwin so slow anyways? Wouldn't we need a good window/compsitioning manager, before we need an office suite, and basic games?
Good compositioning effects by themselves could amuse me for hours.. :drool: =)
I'm easily entertained though.
(besides, my boss wouldn't know they're games.. hehe *sneaky* )

Maybe because people are not sending patches instead of asking such questions?
