[17:07] <bjsnider> soreau, you're a really big fan of compiz effects aren't you?
[17:48] <soreau> bjsnider: Yes
[17:49] <bjsnider> i used them but found most of them to be pointless eyecandy
[17:50] <bjsnider> i don't understand something on the technical side of your argument with krh
[17:50] <bjsnider> he doesn't want effects in weston
[17:50] <bjsnider> now, if i understand this right, from bottom to top, it goes:
[17:50] <bjsnider> wayland>weston>mutter>gnome-shell
[17:51] <bjsnider> so where would he like to have the effects?
[17:53] <soreau> bjsnider: Well, I believe that the mind is far more powerful than given credit for. I also think that eyecandy is certain not useless but actually can offer a way fro the brain to relax for a second, if you're working on something thought-process-intensive
[17:54] <soreau> I think that eyecandy can give your mind the small break that's needed to quick;y recharge and get back to what you were doing (hopefully, work)
[17:54] <soreau> Thus, I actually think eye candy has more than just the immediate 'useless' aesthetic value. I don't think eye candy is pointless
[19:22] <mlankhorst> I do the same, for something I spend so much time each day at, I want it to be pleasant to look at ;)
