Check out this cool experimental windowing theme for GNOME called "Luminosity". The demo movie shows some of the cool effects. Its all hardware accelerated with OpenGL. Seth has a few other vids of his main page too.

That's pretty cool stuff
See you in 13
Seems like it would eat up extra resources and get kind of annoying after while.
WMP gives me an error when I try to look at it.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
Regarding being a resource hog, the demos were recorded on a Radeon 7500 Mobility and an integrated Intel i830. More here.

Most of the resources are GPU and vid card memory... stuff thats not really used during normal desktop computing... So, in essence, its makeing use of other wise dormant resources.
As for the anoying after a while... yeah, i could see that. although in his blog he days ...

Looks neat, but I think the novelty will wear off after a while. It's just like when I first saw Windows XP's new look, then switched back to the Windows Classic look later on.

I agree with Invariant, looks like Longhorn but.. more firm, or elastic, or something. Looks like a slab of gel, whereas the Longhorn one looked like a sheet of paper.
Neat stuff
Just Google It. √
