Wobbly Windows

Choose Window

Peel Back

Cube

Translucent
Whilst Windows drones are waiting expectantly for Vista, those of us running Linux have already got eye candy galore on our desktops. With XGL and Compiz, you get wobbly windows, variable translucency of windows, peel-back windows, a 3D cube with your desktops (oh – I forgot, Windows user don’t have multiple desktops) and Mac style window selection.
