Preview of X Windows Eye Candy
glenkim writes "Remember Seth Nickell's blog entry about next generation X Window rendering? Well, in case you were wondering what it would look like, he's updated his blog with videos of luminocity, the experimental GNOME window manager, and screenshots of programatically themed widgets." From the post: "The wobbly window effect is mildly addictive. Kristian hasn't gotten much work done since he wrote it. He (and now I) spends all day moving windows around and watching them settle."
BaH... I wish I could play the videos.. but nothing on my machine plays any of the formats he has.
It draws windows, but it's called X-Window.
"Seht" dort oben, ein Stück "Nickel". Welch wahr welch wahr. Ein Stück Metall am Firmament.
ROTFL That deserves a +6 because it was the funniest comment ever!

pseudo transparent anyway - just use "aterm -tr"
then you have to play around with font colors that you can actually see against your root image tho.

There's a guy in my CS class who always brings his Mac. Your smugness reminded me of his.
.forward file, and insists that he type the commands in himself, so that he can feel like he did it.
This guy laughs at other student's questions, but he doesn't realize its his own ignorance that makes a good question seem silly.
He directly questions the professor, ie the guy who wrote our textbook, when it's obvious he hasn't a clue.
Another student asks him to borrow his book to which he replies "What the hell is that, not bringing your CS book to lab? You can borrow it, but don't go too far away with it.."
He asks me how to setup a
On top of that, I think he pitches for the other team.
Are you that guy by any chance?

There are others from Winsupersite, including a dialog that pops up totally ripped from OS X asking you for the admin password when you install a program, and shots of Windows paint with translucent borders and titlebars, blurring the image behind it like glass.
Although some may question the advisability of advocating a controlled substance, I believe that a short course of marijuana is something you may find extremely therapeutic. I myself used to be as pedantic as this, but after smoking weed intermittently for around 18 months, (late 2001-2003) was no longer so, and have not been to this day.
Although it may be argued that my becoming less pedantic was actually due to the marijuana causing neurological damage, if it was damage it was in such a way that I was still profoundly grateful for. It made me less likely to care about being correct in instances where being correct truly did not matter, and where the only purpose being correct served was to alienate and annoy my fellow man.
