Zoom plugin has been almost rewritten by David Reveman with cool new features like select and zoom and panning, Cube has got reflection thanks to great work by Onestone, there is now expo mode that can be used along with Cube.

Size information upon resizing any window, paint fire on your desktop and other countless useful and no so useful features have been added to plugins. We also got new animation effect “Dodge”, one of my favourite.

Those cube etc animation are of no use. I would rather prefer Ubuntu 7.10 to provide this

1) GPU accelerated UI, everything made using the GPU on screen

2) Shaodws etc under windows & menus like Vista or Mac OS X

3) Zoom or other such effects.

& plz, no woobly windows.
