Beryl/Compiz for the N900?
 
Is it possible to port or make something like Beryl or Compiz for the N900?

something like when you close an app, it will Burn and fade away :p

Any thoughts...?
Anybody? :)

I doubt it would be practical to directly port Compiz (I don't know enough about WMs to give you definitive answer as to if it's possible). As to adding or modifying effects to Fremantle's WM, I'm not certain, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's possible. I frankly don't see much use, though - I think the N900 strikes a decent balance between flashy and usable, but too much eyecandy on a phone is not terribly useful. That said, if you or someone else wants to do it, go for it! I won't use it, but this is FOSS, and I don't have to agree. :)

Eyecandy is always welcome over here :p

If you can just take the write on the screen with fire part from compiz, I'd be happy :D

And closing the screen that burns the window away, would be awesome too :D
