Hi, I'm developing speech control jukeboxes and I'm using linux for one of the systems. I'm looking for the window manager with the best eye candy. As far as I know Enlightenment (http://enlightenment.org) has the best eye candy I have seen. This window manager is a work of art. Does anyone know of any window manager as pretty as Enlightenment?
I would encourage you to check out the latest happenings in the X.org 6.8.x series. Using an NVidia based graphics board (and ATI when they catch up) it is possible to enable the experimental xcompmgr tools which provide a double buffered, hardware accelerated, drop shadowed and animated desktop. It's compatible with almost all existing X11 apps.
It's basically a complete rip-off of the OS X graphics system QuartzExtreme. And it's quite functional.
