Compositing With Metacity - An Early Look
When the compositing capabilities of Spiftacity merged into the Metacity trunk, it caused a fair bit of stir among GNOME users. Included in version 2.21.5 of GNOME, though hidden from casual users, the compositing showed a lot of promise but remained just something to play around with.
The recently released GNOME 2.24 includes the latest builds of Metacity, so, unless you’ve been compiling from tarballs yourself to stay at the bleeding edge, GNOME 2.24 will be the first taste mainstream users will be getting of the latest Metacity developments. While Metacity itself has seen its fair share of tweaking, the compositor, written by Iain Holmes and Thomas Thurman, has received a great deal of attention, so perhaps it’s time to take a second look at it.
