Welcome to eye-candy age!

One big trend in user interface world - eye candies! yes, we are no longer interested in green and black screens or flat/chiseled windows. We need action on our application, a little 3D and animation everywhere! because life isn't flat and linear after all! Here are some observations

  • From Linux world
    • XGL + Compiz
    • Gnome 2.16
  • Apple OS X and iTunes
    • Leopard and bundled cool apps
    • Latest iTunes
  • Windows Vista
    • Don't know when it will come out, but offers a lot of graphical UI improvements
  • Java 6
