Metisse on GNU/Linux demo

A demo of Metisse, an X-based window system designed with two goals in mind: make it easy to design and implement innovative window management techniques and conform to existing standards and be robust and efficient enough to be used on a daily basis, making it a suitable platform for the evaluation of the proposed techniques.

Thanks for actually replying then, just annoys me when people put stupidly blunt comments.

Resizing is stretchy instead of solid. Has that changed?

ahhh i dont understand noobs.

so this is cool?

nothing like a good ol shell.

zsh ftw.

Actually, I think Metisse uses OpenGL (I was wrong). Well, I guess it would be 3D by your standards, but then so would multiple sheets of paper in RL, and they still show 2D, no matter how you turn them.

But yeah... we have to wait for the poster to reply what he meant by it.

mine was the latter. i guess if metisse doesn't use 3D acceleration that's a good point, but i was thinking that what makes either a 3D desktop is more along the lines of how it relays the elements of the desktop. in this sense metisse is definitely 3D. you can't fold or turn something on the z axis in a 2D world.

[someman7]

You have to redefine your question.

Is it: WTH was that about?

or: How come it is not?

My question is the later :-)

And if yours is the former, it's because some magazines compared it to beryl/compiz (which is, in a sense a 3D desktop - because it uses 3D acceleration).

What's the track playing? J

[brokeneckgiraffe]

"not a 3D desktop!" uhh what?
