New Compiz Animation: Bonanza
,----[ Quote ]
| School’s not been out but one day and I’m already doing something [mildly]
| useful with my life. I wrote this effect yesterday that looks like the window
| is burning from the inside out. Why did I call it “Bonanza”? If you remember,
| there used to be a western TV show by the same name that had an
| old-western-style map that also burned from the inside out. Every time I see
| this effect, the catchy theme song from the show runs through my head.

Compiz? Emerald? Metacity? What's the Difference?
,----[ Quote ]
| And now the last bit about themes. I said before that Compiz can use Kwin and
| Metacity's themes just fine thanks to kde-window-decorator and
| gtk-window-decorator. Some people are confused about what exactly comprises a
| Metacity theme versus a GTK theme, especially since they are installed in the
| same place. A GTK theme controls how buttons look, the colors of text, the
| window background, the scrollbars, and the menubar styles. The Metacity theme
| just controls the window border's style. For KDE, the Qt theme does the
| buttons, scrollbars, etc., and Kwin has its own themes for window borders, I
| think.

Compiz is the Most Important Thing to Ever Happen to Linux.
,----[ Quote ]
| If the Linux community wants to wipe Windows and Mac out of the OS business
| all they need to do in focus all of their collective efforts on developing
| Compiz. With the combine intelligence of hundreds of thousands of nerds we
| could develop the most pimped out windows management system known to mankind.
| The kids don’t want stability, they want an OS w/ rims that spin.

ompiz is Cool – and Why That Matters
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most vexed questions within the open source world is when, if
| ever, GNU/Linux will take off on the desktop. Strangely, this isn't really
| about capabilities: as someone who has Ubuntu running on both of his main
| systems, I can attest to the fact that GNU/Linux is not just usable, it's a
| downright pleasure to use. In fact, I constantly marvel at how transparent
| open source has become: most of the time I'm simply not aware that I'm using
| it – it just works.
|
| This raises the interesting question: so what's missing? What more does open
| source need to do in order to capture the attention of the general user? I
| think the answer can be found on this YouTube video.
