Re: How about some Compositioning news?

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?
