It looks intrusive/hindering. Maybe you should get dual monitors.

[BillGeek]

Dual? Who uses only two monitors???

That last post is Compiz/Beryl. (edit: by maven)

Compiz or Beryl can be usable once you disable some of the time consuming effects. Looking glass is utterly useless. (I did try it personally)

Why do radio buttons on web pages look so Ugly in Linux-Firefox?

You gotta have some higher end system specs for looking glass. I think they could have lowered the bar by writing it in C instead of java but thats just my 2 cents. Lotta people out there looking at java as a serious development platform, I look at it the same as I do visual basic.

That being said, I still do think its sweet. It's a nice look into the future and one thing is for sure, nothing ms looks that good. It's also alpha software, so maybe they'll end up proving me wrong about java. I think java will eventually have it's day, but hardware has got to come a very long way first. Either way, they have some good ideas for gui design.

BillGeek - Thats more along the lines of Compiz & Beryl. Looking glass is more cutting edge then any of them I've seen.

Looks the same to me as on windows, maybe your seeing some jpg compression =P

[BillGeek]

I suppose... but either way... these kinds of things confuse me. I'd just stick with the plain 2D desktop for now.

This is what I get.

Firefox manually draws its checkboxes, buttons, and other controls. Because of this, they don't look like the controls on the rest of the operating system.

I think they look too much like stuff from the 90s - ugly!

How incredibly pointless.
