is this a real kwin effect?

or just compiz on kde4?

[MartinGraesslin]

This is a real KWin effect. Not yet committed but it will probably be there for 4.1. It does not use any code from copiz, although the effect is inspired by compiz ;-)

Have you got any idea if cube-like effects will be implemented? Not that I care much, but I just wanna brag against my windows-minded friends :)

btw, how did you find out about this? I follow a fair amount of mailinglists but I've never seen it come by

[MartinGraesslin]

Well, I implemented this effect... I sent the code to KWin mailinglist yesterday.

I would love to have cube, too. So if I have time I will hopefully do something about it ;-)

This isn't in 3D on my computer... (KDE 4.5)

Thanks for the implementation =). Hopefully you will soon be ready to move on to git.

It looks familiar to sun's looking glass

I just enabled kwin effects and this effect is so cool!!!

[koralluzzo]

WOOW! You're very good Martin! With KWin in this state.. who cares anymore about compiz ?? :D

[CerebralGump]
