The code is rough at best and it's plugins are hard coded to itself (not really plugins as much as reduplication of itself)<BR/><BR/>Point being it is not easy to turn it into a good window manager, and not easy to port or reuse its graphical coolness in anything else.<BR/><BR/>So given that kwin was already a rock solid window manager with many advanced features and a couple of kde hooks to work better with the desktop, it was determined that it would be easier to add the little bit of graphical eye candy to kwin that to make compiz any good at managing windows. This has the added benefit of working as a non compositing window manager as well. Furthermore, it is not just kde that made this determination as the gnome folks are also adding cube effects and whatnot into metacity as well. Basically it looks like it will end up with compiz used as a crazy testbed and actual users using metacity and gnome or kwin and kde.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580834397727061278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918500564410691057.post-15865072949897354342008-11-18T14:30:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:30:00.000-08:00The most useful part of Compiz for real work is tr...The most useful part of Compiz for real work is transparency of windows - so you can see the full contents of the windows below.
