High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Compiz is one of the first compositing window managers for the X Window System that uses 3D graphics hardware to create fast compositing desktop effects for window management. The effects, such as a minimization effect and a cube workspace are implemented as loadable plugins. Because it conforms to the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual standard, Compiz can substitute for the default Metacity in GNOME or KWin in KDE. Compiz plugins include the cube effect (example to the right), Alt-Tab application-switching with live previews or icons, and a feature similar to Expose. The Composite extension to X is used, as is the OpenGL extension GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap . The first version of Compiz was released as free software by Novell (SUSE) in January 2006 in the wake of the also new Xgl.
