Re: The Composite Manager Guide: How to Get Vista-ish Effects in (K)(X)Ubuntu.
I love the shadow effects done by xcompmgr. I hate the fading effect. It feel like a joke that just wastes time to me. But I suppose that is because my Second OS is Mac OS (X). aka, I can also use Mac OS's before that....
Anywho, xcompmgr rules for useability in that respect! The Mac OS 9 themes even without realtime shadows at least did a fake drop shadow. A lot of Gnome themes don't and are a pain in the @ss on the eyes that way.

"So switching to if-then-else blocks might be good Computer Science theory, but using goto's is good Engineering. Since the Linux kernel is one designed to be used, rather than to demonstrate theory, sound engineering principles take priority."
