Our friends Dennis Kasprzyk and Guillaume Seguinannounced the release of Compiz and Compiz Fusion 0.7.6 respectively. As is the tradition we always make a release with a lot of new features and of course eye-candy to go with it.

In the new features there is now a new “Static Switcher” that shows thumbnails of all the open windows and moves caret instead of thumbnails. Place plugin received a rewrite that enhances it’s multi-display support. Gtk-window-decorator is now accesessibilit(a11y) sensitive and ezoom plugin now has area zoom, helping people with disabilities to work on computer with ease.

Eye-candy? Full sphere!! I’ll let a picture talk for itself.

Yeah, right... opensuse 11 should be included in july,08 issue.The compiz effects really rocks, even on old intel 865 gbf mobo , 512 ddr, and onboard grafix, it gives stunning efects which i never even dream of achiving using windows.Though a little bit of tweaking was needed in xorg.conf and compiz-manager files, it seems great.But compiz still have some problems with video playback.
 
Good to see them catching up to Aero & Quartz extreme
Catching up ? You must be joking right ? Everyone agreed several months ago that Compiz Fusion beats the crap out of Aero and Aqua, simply because there are plugins to do EXACTLY the same things as them, and much much more. The gap is only widening now.
