Love the flashback to the old Compiz days! The only thing missing now is wobbly windows.




The GNOME Foundation needs to adopt this.


I miss the fad of Compiz effects. Sure they were silly but it added a little fun to the desktop. I never really got into desktop themes preferring something plainer and smaller (because screen real-estate was still a commodity back then) but wobbly windows and closing effects largely didn't take much away from usability while still adding a little personality.


You can still use compiz today with MATE or XFCE


Thanks, I wasn't aware of that.


it is not missing: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3210/compiz-windows-e.... My eldest son has it running on his account, and I predict that later today those wobbly windows will also burn... EDIT: correct extension


wanted to make the same comment :). they were so good


haha, ditto, wobbly windows were awesome, and the geared cube
