- From 4.1 to 4.2: KWin
,----[ Quote ]
| A lot has happened in trunk since the release of KDE 4.1 in July. With 4.2
| final just a little over one month away, now is the perfect time to look back
| and see if we have achieved our goals. I would like to try and start
| something here by writing an overview of what has happened in KWin over these
| past six months, if the developers of all the other KDE sub-teams also write
| one for their own projects we can have a nice little series produced.

Introducing KDE 4: Kwin
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 3.5.x had an option for enabling composite called kcompmgr (which was a
| modified version of xcompmgr), it had basic functionality like transparency
| and fading, but nothing else, and it wasn't exactly fast.
|
| Then Compiz came, originally designed by Novell along with XGL, but, even if
| it can be used with KDE, it obviously was designed with GNOME in mind.
|
| The KDE developers wanted eye-candy composite for they KDE 4 series, so they
| had 3 options, writing a whole new window manager, use compiz or improving
| kwin, they took the last one.

KDE 4 rev 802150: Work in progress

| KWin with Wobbly Windows
|
| Kwin features a new visual effect known to most of you from Compiz: the
| Wobbly Windows. Only a few days ago the settings panel for this effect had
| tons of detailed options. Most of these options have been disabled now, the
| only thing that can be configured is the window deformation level while in
| motion. This seems more appropriate for a common user since the number of
| configurable settings was overwhelming before. One minor flaw that I noticed
| in KWin Wobble Windows is that the window shadow is not properly deformed (it
| does not adjust to the current shape of the window).
