I am so excited for the ‘new’ thing in X.org. Cairo is this new thing and it promises all sorts of cool hardware accelerated effects, very much like what we see today in OS X’s Quartz. We finally get that beautiful alpha compositing. We get bouncing windows. We get workspace pagers that update the contents of the desktop live. We get unique widgets. That picture comparing the colour picker widgets looks phenomenal. Finally, it’s about time X catches up and surpasses Windows in the visual effects arena.
