Mhm... I looked at some screenshots of that WM... Whoah, most weird thing of this day. Is it useable??

Wow!  Looks like they have some very interesting ideas on user interface design.  The video was especially cool!

Oh my god, that looks interesting. Is it still under development?

Re: [x11:3d-windowmanager]metisse

I think its still being developed. I do know the developers are still using it in research.

I haven't been able to get the given PKGBUILD or a modified one for the 0.3.5 version to compile. I'l have to get it eventually, but if somebody more familiar with C errors was interested in hacking it, that would be fun.

Actually, I believe it is a hacked version of the X server plus a hacked version of FVWM, and may also involve hacked versions of gtk and qt, though I'm not certain about any of this. Its a research platform, not end user.

Re: [x11:3d-windowmanager]metisse

Man, that would definately be cool as a layer between X and the WM. Think of all the awesome stuff you could implement. *drools*

Heh, even my non-geek girlfriend thought the video kicked ass.

Re: [x11:3d-windowmanager]metisse

this thing is AMAZING to play with. Its in AUR (silly me for not searching), but it doesn't build, however, dma provides a repo for the package, and it works. I'm looking forward to playing with it...
