I just wanted to say this is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know if I have a use for this, but I love it and please keep doing this. It's mesmerizing and beautiful.

TTE reminds me of Compiz window manager from eons ago, the thing that got me to ditch Windows for Linux, except for the terminal.

Is there a way you can add something like TTE to tmux or vim as a screen saver or something that would trigger occasionally but not all the time? Do you pipe it? Make aliases?

How do you typically use it? What was your intent when you first wrote it, and what do you use it for now?

Keep it up!

Compiz. Beryl. Compiz Fusion. Unlocks some fun memories.

Also this video has some 6 million views now: https://youtu.be/xC5uEe5OzNQ?si=GOvwOTHV-RVQnxWv . I remember watching it and being awed by the cube effect.

    That's certainly a trip down memory lane...

    Coming from Windows XP, Compiz Fusion was nothing short of revolutionary. If Linux had a game ecosystem back then, it would have beaten the pants off of Windows. It was so much cooler than Windows.

      It was also buggy as hell, but it was fun watching windows jiggle like jello.
