Bling does not provide expose like function, but Beryl yes. What I am thinking about since a couple of weeks/months is that it should be possible to make an expose like function + translucency without OpenGL support, but "only" Composite extension from the X Server.
What I like in enlightenment it is his speed, small memory footprint, responsiveness and beauty. I make it run using xserver from X11R7 (no 3D effect only 2D acceleration) and that is enough and really fast. That is true that I would like to see functions like expose and windows translucency. I was waiting for such solution to happen and bling is a good step forward. As soon as I will have some times, I will try to code a patch to implement an expose like based on compositing and adding some functions to bling like translucency changes during windows movement. Unfortunatly I am pretty busy right now and it could requires some times except, if beryl or bang could run without Xgl ... The key issue with Beryl is that it is a full window manager, I believe that bang has extract some part of the code and ported it to e17, I just would like to avoid redoing the work that somebody has done.
