Issue 19: Investigate a way to allow contrib extensions to use compositing. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=19 Comment #6 by thayerw:

tiling, compositing wm would probably take a big chunk of the tiling wm market.

I just want to second this. I think there is huge potential in having a composite tiled environment, in terms of both specials *and* usability. It has been mentioned elsewhere, but some of the possibilities include: * zoom in/out inactive windows instead of resizing the viewport * zoom in to maximize or partially maximize a client over the top of other clients * Flip 3D style rotation of clients * quickly view all workspaces with an expo-style overlay IMHO drop shadows are superficial when compared to the real enhancements in usability this could provide. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
