> - What's the difference with xcompmgr? (i haven't used either) * xcompmgr is based on a monolithic architecture, whereas Unagi architecture is split up in three parts: core, rendering and visual effects. From an end-user POV, it allows to easily add customized visual effects plugins and rendering backend. From a developer POV, it makes maintenance easier and allows to work separately on different components without understanding the whole code. Further information can be found in section "Introduction and Rationale", 3.1 and 4.1 of [0]. * xcompmgr uses Xlib whereas Unagi uses XCB which should provide better performance (even though this is far from being opitmized now) among other things. You can find further information in section 1.2 of this document[0]. * xcompmgr has been written more as a proof-of-concept than a useable software. > - does this make it possible to implement a clone view where you > see the same window(s) on 2 screens (of potentially different > sizes), or do you need a compositing WM for that? I'm not sure whether you are talking of a clone of the desktop you are currently in, which could be achieved through xrandr, or just for specific windows? I'm not sure either why you would want to do that? ;) Cheers, Arnaud [0] http://projects.mini-dweeb.org/attachments/3/report.pdf -- To unsubscribe, send mail to awesome-unsubscr...@naquadah.org.
