Whats the most useless plugin in compiz?

[Fixman]

From the creators of "Whats the most useless thing in Ubuntu" we bring you this product:

Compiz has lots of cool design, interactivity performance etc. features, witch I don't think one could learn half of them in a lifetime, so I ask, in your opinion, whats the MOST USELESS thing on Compiz? The one you are sure you will NEVER USE?

I think it is "gears inside cube"

[Kingsley]

This product sucks. I want a refund.

[-grubby]

the compiz splash screen

or the Water effect.

Sticky windows, there are 2 places that enable your windows to stick to the sides of the screen and other windows. very usesless. What ever happened to the floating windows plugin? it was useless but kinda cool to show friends and co workers.

I am going with the gears as well. Completely useless. At least most of the other stuff has the "cool" factor.

WRITING FIRE ON THE SCREEN

i would be more impressed if it actually burned the monitor; i have a few old monitors i would do that with :)

[santiagoward2000]

the compiz splash screen

Hey! I use it!!

Truly, we need more software features that actually set fire to physical objects. I want a Firefox plugin that will set fire to people who annoy me on the Internet.

or the Water effect.

I like the water effect

The Application Switcher, if only for the fact it has a known tendancy to crash Emerald (at least for me with 64-bit Gutsy).

Oh, and of course, fire.

I like the water effectI do to, but it doesn't do much to help you use your computer. :)

[alwiap]

I do to, but it doesn't do much to help you use your computer. :)

the water effect is amazing when it's raining outside, its just like taking a shower with the tub full and pretending you're in a submarine that was hit

Do I annoy you? If I do, could you please warn me when you get that extension??

I love fire on screen. Rather than locking my computer, I put fire on the screen with a DO NOT TOUCH! message to it. I haven't gotten any weird looks when I come back yet, but I haven't sat next to anyone in a public place either.

But I say gears.

[FG123]

Wow... that's a bloody good idea! :)

[CanonKen]

Has to be the clone desktop and color filter for me, can't see the point in them at all.

[alwiap]

if they made the fire plugin have prewritten messages or messages you could write and then save, i would write an elaborate message and use it when i went away from the computer. until then, nope.

[jpittack]

A big X would do the job. Most don't know that they are looking at compiz until you tell them. I only know of two people at school that use linux as a main os.

The best time to use fire is in the middle of class. Just streak it across the screen and then get rid of it. See if anyone asks.

[glupee]

one more vote for the gears... I loved the 3d windows, unfortunately it didn't come default on gutsy :(

[Sunflower1970]

Another vote for 3D Gears, the fish in the middle of the cube, fire, snow plugin, water effects...

although I do love the fishies and snow plugin.. :D

I don't really think ANY of the features are completely useless.
However, I would like some plugins someday that would implement them differently:

-water plugin that merely has that "bottom of the pool effect" (you know, when the effect starts dying down), and it would be integrated as some sort of animated desktop wallpaper.

- Rotate window plugin: could be rewritten for when you're browsing documents like photos. Imagine being able to rotate them in a file browser! Yaaay!

- Animated fire backgrounds for Expo and the Reflected Rotated Cube.

Stuff like that would just rock my socks like a fox in a box.

Anything under Accessibility. I don't, and won't ever use those.

[ajkirchner]

what if you have fire on the screen and then turn on the water effect? it should slowly put out the fire...:lolflag:

[hessiess]

everything

[tumbleweed05]

cube gears IMO. it'd be better if I could change the colors.

[delfick]

hehehe, gube gears is just to show it's possible to put stuff in the centre of the cube :D
(i.e. it's not a serious plugin, and it's just there to hopefully lead to more interesting things being put into the centre of the cube, like the cube dbus plugin can do :))

(also, the 3d windows plugin isn't compatible with the version of compiz in ubuntu :D)

and just to add to the discussion, I say (this is hard, cause I'm an eyecandy-addict :D) the zoom plugin, cause I've also got the enhanced zoom plugin installed.

hehehe
