Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Idea for rhythmbox and beryl.



I am 100% convinced that anybody who activates this will be bored of it within 30 seconds. Just like spinny cube, raindrops, and painting fire.

Hi,
thank you all for replaying so quickly.
Now let me explain my idea a bit further :
As I know most of music players have some sort of visualization effects included, be it from random spawning lines, circles...well you name it! And none of em have a "wobbly effect" that is achieved only with Beryl (i think), so  yes this would be a plugin that user can simply enable, and no this is not intended to be wobbling while a user would be browsing through his media library. I mean just imagine loading your favorite play list, enjoying your music while the window will be simply shaking that ass.

Regards,

Regardless, sounds like why this type of thing would be a fun and neat
plugin (possibly that is in an extras package and not shippped by
default)

Cheers!
