To be honest the transparency would only make for cool side-effects like the transparent title bar of inactive windows mac style, so I disabled it right after the screenshot.
I kinda like the shadows though
This is just an illustration of what could be achieved using the new extension in x.org. Considering openGL transformations on a window's pixmap are possible, hardware accelerated eye candy is possible and some stuff is actually quite helpfull. Take the Mac os 10.3's expose feature for instance, that just rocks

edit: that video is kinda missing the point, but it's also possible to zoom out all the on screen windows so none overlap and then click the one you want activated so they all zoom in with the selected one in front.

yes, exactly. This release is just showing us what can be done. So, i guess we will have to wait a bit to have developers do some nifty things with it. Then it will really take off.
Funny how apple is almost first with these things and sad that they don't control even fraction of the market. Thats what happens when you are proprietory closed hardware...and have a operating system that doesn't run on x86.

Just installed new X.org (the pre 6.8.0) and the nice features seem to work just fine

how do you install this once you download those seven files. im to the point of having the xc folder with stuff in it but the readme doesnt say much and im not sure what to do.
