only if microsoft could... reminds me of an old book about a train



of course in this sense, open-source would be the train.. and windows would be some unfortunate wildlife stuck on the tracks

Actually god of mana, it doesn't because all it is a pre-rendered 3d Image and each side ( on a 2d scale ) is basically what you're looking at, Zoomed out and plasted on a premade square thing



My friend made a mod like that for his laptop that did something similar

I thought Beryl was no longer in use. Therefore I am thinking that, this is actually compiz. I could be wrong though. Looks good. You can get the same effect in windows by using Yod'm 3D. http://www.softpedia.com/reviews/win...ew-54961.shtml
