Bring back my stupid Compiz effects. They were fun, and sometimes genuinely useful.
One thing I had in xfce in 2004 was the ability to make any window translucent/transparent.
Back in the day I'd have a video playing in the background with open office or my ide in the forground, slightly transparent.
It was really neat.
Out of the box their light terminal theme is flat out unreadable. Some of the chosen colors have almost no contrast.
Ugh.
And then if it is dark mode time but I pull up a terminal window that is semi transparent and it is on top of a browser window that has bright colors, again, unreadable.
Which is why transparency effects are mostly limited to cool screenshots.
COSMIC is great and I like it, which is odd as it violates a lot of my personal preferences... but pretty it is not.
2. There are lots of desktops. Why choose one that doesn't work the way you want when others do?
sir, this is not an agentic window
