You know how sometimes old documents would reuse paper by turning it sideways and writing perpendicularly on top of the old writing? Let’s make a window manager that does that, overlap the contents of all your windows at different angles

It’s surprisingly possible (and easy) too… a little bit of tinkering with X11’s compositor API would probably do the trick.

IDK about Wayland tho :/

You could do it in Wayland, too, it’s just that every single Wayland app would have to re-implement the rotation and rendering themselves.

Wayfire seems perfectly capable of rotating apps without them being aware of it

4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
