cosmetically speaking ofcourse, cause that shit makes you quiver in awe
take a look at the page where I got my wallpaper. The photo is made for a project that captures scenes throughout the States with a large format camera. Incredible detail.

Playing with transparency is fun. Still tweaking it, though.

Glass2k is fun.

I turned it off recently tho. :(

your using nix. Built in transparency? What distro?
[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

Gentoo, but the transparency is credited to the newer versions of Xorg (the x-windows system). I'm using Fluxbox, which is a re-hash of Blackbox, because Blackbox is poorly maintained for linux.

I am using XGL, of course. Compiz looks neat, but I thought it would be a resources hog. I might still play around with it if the functionality outweighs the resource usage. I'll post some pretty screenies if I do install it someday.

I'd start with the chrome wheels and their light bursts. And the ugly car, too...
