Just How Smart Are Your Desktop Windows?

Compiz Fusion has allowed us to do some pretty amazing things, from a visual perspective. Granted, it really means utilizing proprietary video drivers in most cases. But in the end, the results we end up with can be a lot of fun to show off.

Then there is the question of function. While visually compelling, one cannot really say with a straight face that Compiz Fusion is doing all that much for my ability to be more effective with my desktop. And that then brings us to this fine project.

The idea is to pickup where Compiz Fusion by itself has left off. Smart Windows is such an example. Going beyond merely making the effects happen, the “smart” windows actually figure out where they are to be placed based on user actions.

Will this mean that folks such as myself are going to really gain something from such an evolution? This remains to be seen I think.
