a fundamental challenge in this conversation is that for you the definition of "good looking desktop" includes "a panel that looks like its translucent". for the rest of us, we see that as a nice to have item only and therefore perfectly ok to tie it into compositing. other features, like autohiding, are not "nice to have" but "must haves" and therefore we have support for them in both compositing and non-compositing scenarios. as for color matching panels and wallpapers, i've described how that could be done. it doesn't seem there's much interest in that, however, as i keep seeing patches that do completely different things. so, we have a difference in definition/values when it comes to "good looking desktop" and a difference in definition/values when it comes to "what cost we are willing to carry to achieve features that aren't actually supported by the system (mostly drivers)" as such, i don't think there's much point in discussing this further. i think we've been very patient with each other and that's been really good to see. but we're not actually finding a middle ground on our definitions and values. sometimes that happens. afaic, this discussion is over. -- Aaron J.
