Beryl in Ubuntu and Apple
2.28.2007
I've come across a video of Beryl animation on youtube, wherein task-switching
is done by a 3D cube that turns. This feature is similar to how Sun Microsystem's Looking Glass allows 3D manipulation of various windows.
Here's the video:
Interestingly, this 3D feature is also available in Mac OS X, at least not by task-switching but when switching users. With the upcoming release of Leopard (which I will definitely upgrade to), one can expect the "Spaces" feature to operate similarly. Last I've heard from ThinkSecret is that Apple will allow up to 16 desktop spaces --- cool. Although what I'd like myself is to see these spaces in 3D, with an option to turn it on or off, depending on the machine's hardware capabilities.
I guess I'll just have to see...
