    Phoronix: Wobbly Windows Support & Other Post-Processing Effects For Wayland

    Samsung developers have been working on implementing client-side post processing effects for Wayland. This is to achieve similar effects like "wobbly windows" as were common to the Linux desktop going back many years with AIGLX / Compiz / Beryl...

      Jesus? I thought Saint Peter was supposed to be the gatekeeper? ☺

        I hope this dies in a fire.

        Also, yes I realize this is probably just a side-effect of more important work on the compositing-side/other Wayland work.

          Wayland developers are already very reluctant adding protocol for stuff like screen capture so a protocol for wobbly windows is extremely unlikely and anyways makes no sense since the compositor is already free to do that without the need of a protocol...

            Awesome. This Wayland thing might amount to something after all

              Maybe now johnc will be on board with Wayland.

                Not sure if a joke or not...
                I'm pretty sure the compositor can already do wobbly windows without this protocol, else we wouldn't be able to drag windows around in general. Maybe I'm missing something?

                  While wobbly windows in itself may not be interesting there may be other things that would benefit from this. A few features I miss from Compiz was to desaturate all but the active window plus the expo stuff that was useful features and not just eyecandy....

                    So... one of the ideas for Wayland was to reduce the message trips, from application to X to window manager... and now they want to add extra steps...
