Blogging Ottinger (tim)LookingGlass innovative 3D GUI
More on linux GUIs: there is this really cool 3D GUI by Sun for Linux. I think it is innovative in having thick, rotatable windows and a 3D panoramic background. The pics tell it all.
This is getting a lot of press right now because there is a new live CD. You can burn a copy and try it out on your computer I understand from comments that it works best on an NVidia card, and that it is to be run on more hefty PCs. Also, apparently it’s still in the tender, young days of early use so it may crash. But it’s a mighty cool idea.
Looks like compbiz and then Beryl have replaced lookingglass as the cool desktop to look at. Beryl had videos all over youtube, so the interested reader should check those out. More recent Ubuntu releases include a lot of this cool stuff. XFCE even supports some cool compositing features.
Enjoy.
