Funny how they were considered cool back when Microsoft was touting them
as a wonderful new feature of Windows Vista. Then when Vista turned out to
be such a resource hog (for this and other reasons), suddenly they began
trying to persuade everybody that translucency and shadows and 3D effects
weren’t so cool after all.

They’re just as “cool” as they always were. And Linux does them more
slickly and efficiently than anybody else.

If you have picom (a fork of compton a fork of xcompmgr...), just
do

    $ man picom

to see just how configurable it is. (There's also the picom-conf GUI).

And imagine if it were Registry settings :-D

Two men came before Nasrudin when he was magistrate.  The first man said,
"This man has bitten my ear -- I demand compensation." The second man said,
"He bit it himself." Nasrudin withdrew to his chambers, and spent an hour
trying to bite his own ear.  He succeeded only in falling over and bruising
his forehead.  Returning to the courtroom, Nasrudin pronounced, "Examine the
man whose ear was bitten. If his forehead is bruised, he did it himself and
the case is dismissed.  If his forehead is not bruised, the other man did it
and must pay three silver pieces."
