  1. Compositing window manager<br><br>Compositing window managerA compositing window manager is a window manager that provides applications with an off screen buffer for each window. The window manager composites the window buffers into an image representing the screen and writes the result into the display memory.[1][2]<br><br>Compositing window managers may perform additional processing on buffered windows, applying 2D and 3D animated effects such as blending, fading, scaling, rotation, duplication, bending and contortion, shuffling, blurring, redirecting applications, and translating windows into one of a number of displays and virtual desktops. technology allows for visual effects to be rendered in real time such as drop shadows, live previews, and complex animation.[3][4] Since the screen is double buffered, it does not flicker during updates.<br><br>, and , KWin, Xfwm,scarpe hogan outlet online Si, Enlightenment (E17) and .<br><br>the Desktop Window Manager<br><br>The window manager sends each window a message to repaint itself whenever appropriate (such as when it is resized, or when another window passes in front of it). With a stacking manager, the repainting process can become corrupted when a program that is slow, unresponsive or buggy does not respond to messages in a timely manner.[5][6] A malicious program can cause the system to appear unstable by simply neglecting to repaint its window. Then, one or more of the following conditions may result:<br><br>a clipped window does not repaint uncovered regions, resulting in either blank spaces or a "trail" left behind from another window<br><br>portions of windows (such as decorative drop shadows) are left behind and not properly painted overscreen updates become unbearably slow[8]<br><br>the entire screen freezes until the program either responds or is terminated[9]<br><br>With a compositing manager, if a window stops repainting itself when requested by the window manager, its last repaint will remain displayed and the window might be dimmed. Often the title changes to reflect the status of the window as unresponsive. Applications could first request a region of memory outside the current display region for use as bitmap. The Amiga windowing system would then use a series of bit blits using the system's hardware blitter to build a composite of these applications' bitmaps, along with buttons and sliders, in display memory, without requiring these applications to redraw any of their bitmaps.[10]<br><br>On March 24, 2001, Mac OS X v10.0 became the first mainstream operating system to feature software based 3D compositing and effects, provided by its Quartz component. With the release of Mac OS X v10.2 and Quartz Extreme, the job of compositing could be moved to dedicated graphics hardware.[2][11]<br><br>Sun Microsystems developed an ambitious 3D graphics system to layer on top of its Swing toolkit, which was called Project Looking Glass. It was first demonstrated at the 2003 World Expo. Although Apple threatened to sue Sun for breach of intellectual property rights, some of the functionality in Looking Glass has been implemented in other window managers. A few years into its development, it was discontinued by Sun, whose primary business was selling enterprise mainframes.<br><br>The Desktop Window Manager in Project Longhorn was first presented to the 2003 Windows Hardware Engineering Conference demonstrating wobbly windows.[12] Severe delays in the development of Longhorn caused Microsoft not to debut its 3D compositing window manager until the release of Windows Vista in January 2007.[13]<br><br>Compositing under the X Window System required some redesign, which took place incrementally.[14] Metacity 2.8.4 was released in August 2004.[15] However, the first widely publicized compositing window manager for X was Xfwm, released in January 2005.[16] On 26 January 2005, was released, introducing fully accelerated 3D compositing to the platform.[17] KDE's KWin also supports compositing.<br><br>Compositing and 3D effects in Operating Systems<br><br>In compositing,moncler outlet A day at the M, 3D effects could be applied on windows to provide 3D desktop effects. Modern compositing window managers uses 3D hardware acceleration. Compositing window manager software communicates with graphics hardware via programming interfaces such as OpenGL or Direct3D.<br><br>The earliest widespread implementations using this technique were released for the Mac in Mac OS X 10.2,, and for in a Luminocity prototype. Currently, window managers using OpenGL include , KWin, and the Quartz Compositor, while Desktop Window Manager currently uses DirectX 9. Compositing was introduced by way of the "Composite" extension. Compositing managers use hardware acceleration through this extension, if available.<br><br>Under and UNIX, the ability to do full 3D accelerated compositing required fundamental changes to X11 in order to use hardware acceleration. Originally, a number of modified X11 implementations designed around OpenGL began to appear, including Xgl. The introduction of AIGLX would eliminate the need to use Xgl, and allow window managers to do 3D accelerated compositing on a standard X server, while still allowing for direct rendering. Currently[when?] NVIDIA, Intel and ATI cards support AIGLX.<br><br>introduced a cube effect, which allows the user to see up to 6 virtual desktops at once. Each desktop is converted into a surface texture of the cube, which can be rotated at will. displays a wide array of 2D and 3D effects and has relatively low hardware requirements.[18] used to be[when?] included in Ubuntu , and is enabled automatically when supported hardware and drivers are available.<br><br>(Metacity + Clutter) has replaced Metacity as the default window manager for GNOME. It is featured in the GNOME Shell component of GNOME 3.0. It uses the display engine Clutter, which has been ported to all major operating systems, netbooks and smartphones.<br><br>Since version 4, KDE's window manager KWin has compositing capabilities.
