Hi, I'm developing speech control jukeboxes and I'm using linux for one of the systems. I'm looking for the window manager with the best eye candy. As far as I know Enlightenment (http://enlightenment.org) has the best eye candy I have seen. This window manager is a work of art. Does anyone know of any window manager as pretty as Enlightenment? thanks, Jeff

Nope, Enlightenment pretty much has the monopoly on "eye candy". --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <frank@wiles.org> http://www.wiles.org ---------------------------------

I would encourage you to check out the latest happenings in the X.org 6.8.x series. Using an NVidia based graphics board (and ATI when they catch up) it is possible to enable the experimental xcompmgr tools which provide a double buffered, hardware accelerated, drop shadowed and animated desktop. It's compatible with almost all existing X11 apps. It's basically a complete rip-off of the OS X graphics system QuartzExtreme. And it's quite functional.

You are incorrect with your claim that ATI cards can't use the new features of 6.8.x series from X.org. In fact, ATI cards work just fine if you use the drivers that come with X.org. You just can not use the binary drivers from ATI at this time. I really enjoy using ATI cards in my Linux boxes. The DRI drivers do a good job of supporting the r200 series of chips. Work is progressing quite rapidly on getting good DRI support for the r300 series at this time. I have always found binary only drivers to be such ... a PITA. //========================================================\\ || D.
