--- Comment #22 from Maximilian Böhm <m...@elbmurf.de> --- Not true, Vista came out in November of 2006. Same year I first played with XGL and an early Compiz. Vista Beta 1 already had the Aero Glass UI with Flip 3D in 2005. It was Microsoft’s attempt to out-bling Apple’s Exposé, albeit with an inadequate desktop integration. Maybe you are mistaking it with Windows 7? So in all fairness, Microsoft invented the 3D window stack. Compiz’ 3D cover flip was inspired by iTunes’ albums cover flipping, and its Flip 3D copy came in the same time frame. It was truly a atmosphere of departure for the Linux desktop back then, every month new effect ideas and refinements in Compiz/Beryl/Compiz Fusion. Kwin basically copied the Compiz base effects starting in Plasma 4 whereas Compiz was engulfed by Canonical/Unity and then basically buried. Kwin’s effects arsenal *is* the spiritual successor of Compiz and with that comes some responsibility for users that have based their workflow on its mechanics for about 14 years now. Please forgive my off-topic excursus but this is a pretty emotional affair about what you expect from and love about your personal desktop. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
