Mates,
David C. Rankin Randall Schulz Well, it always depends on what YOU want. There are many features of CF
that i find handy for manipulating workspaces. They include: Scale - Present all open windows on the screen in a scaled-down view
allowing you to choose one.
Expo - Present all workspaces in a row and allow you to switch or to
move windows between them.
3d transparent cube - gives a sense of space and freedom and is just
plain fun.
Rotate with mousewheel at screen edges - switch workspaces quickly and
easily.
Fast and smooth rendering of windows,
Tile - ability to tile/un-tile windows in various ways.
Commands - set whatever commands you like to run when moving to/and
clicking at edges and corners.
Just looks nice. Heh. That's some of what it does for me. Many times (such as when
re-installing) I've tried sticking with the default kde interface but
always in the end miss the CF features and go back: even though that (on
ati, still) means using xgl. Bottom line - give it a try, you might be surprised that it is more than
just good looking. Cheers,
David The slides are very impressive, but I am with Randall on this...
I am currently an using enlightenment 17 which gives an elegant
environment which does not make my eyes cross. (it even rather nicely
matches the colour scheme of the laptop).
I mainly work on code and rather wonder what the performance hit of this
is... I can live with the 10% to 15% performance hit I occasionally get
from e17 but it does gives me a work area which does not dominate the
work I am doing and distract me from that work... I normally minimise
the number of window sessions to those I require at time... lots open of
applications is resource using clutter... so some of these things have
no real benefit...
This strikes me as 'Las Vegas' with lots of glitter but slightly lacking
in style or substance, which maybe is a fun place to be but not a
workspace in which to get stuff done. Depends really if you prefer
Caesars palace or the Tate ...
This is a matter of taste, of course ... and I think I had better get on
the asbestos underwear :-)
