Hi,
After some struggle with my old ATI, I am now on a newer Nvidia. The installation of Nvidia Drivers and Compiz Fusion worked great via One Click install from opensuse.org.
Frankly, it took not much more than an hour on SUSE 10.3/32bit/KDE, to be on and fabulously going again.
Time to say thank you. Thanks much to anyone that made such an installation so effortless and perfectly working!! It even makes Windows Vista Aero looking pale and oldfashioned.
Now I am enjoying a cube, have windows wobbling around and rain sometimes falling on my applications and much, much more.
However, after playing around for a few fascinating hours, I am still unsure, whether this can be used "profitably" on a daily basis.
Is there anyone using some of the Compiz features daily in and out and did you experience some increase in your productivity?
Thanks much for help Eberhard
For me, yes. I usually have multiple applications open at the same time - Eclipse, Firefox, Konsole, OO Writer, sometimes Amarok, Konqueror. It makes it a lot easier if I can get a glance which are the applications that are open on a particular desktop. Alt-tabbing is ok, but there comes a time where it is one tab too many. And sometimes you want to get a reference on one window while you type something in another. Alt-tabbing can be really tiring and resizing windows is too much trouble. Here is where transparency is really useful. I've used it on more occasions than I think I would. When doing presentation, I like the zoom in function alot as well. A good opportunity to show off my laptop while providing a really useful feature. Kudos to all the Compiz developers for developing such a neat feature. I'd like to say thank you here as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
