Cavey just got Kroko to boot up install an Ubuntu Live-CD, so I took some screenshots of Compiz in action. I decided why not share with Massassi since I've already uploaded a few.

The wallpaper is the generic Diablo III wallpapers out there. My screen resolution is 1920x1200. I've tried to go for a Diabolic theme for Halloween, my favorite time of year.

Here's Pidgin with VLC and Massassi behind that.

Below is the same three applications, just showing off to Kroko how the Compiz cube works with application windows such as VLC playing a movie. The fire is animated.

And the final image of this series is that of me minimizing a window, with the fire animation. There's different animations for closing, minimizing, restoring, and opening for windows and movies, but for this theme, they're all fire.

Now as a bonus, the last screenshot is I think two years old with compiz snow, because I'm too lazy to upload new screenshots and show off the snow/autumn plugins. The snow flakes are not part of the wallpaper, and they do fall. I have an autumn leaf thing that does the same thing, except slower and more like wind is making the leaves fall in certain directions. There's youtube videos of this. Anyways, this is one of my favorite wallpapers for wintertime. The picture was taken by a hot swedish girl (in Sweden) a few years ago, and is found on InterfaceLIFT.

And below are the same images in the links above, in order, because dalf is a killjoy.

I've got to admit, that girl from Firefly looks as if she got face-smacked by an ironing utensil whilst she was in the crib. But then, I guess some people are just into that sort of thing. :)

Good lord she's not THAT ugly.
She's not most attractive girl out there but she's not ugly.

The problem is that they put a bunch of makeup on her, such as massive amounts of eyeshadow and liner that make her eyes pop out.

I make a very good living with Perl. I like the language.
