[TxMt] TM 2.0 // visual effects via CoreVideo?

[Dennis Amrouche]

Hello Allan,

I found this on the net today:
http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/24/how-to-blurminal-your-os-x-terminal/

Its a hack of the terminal via SIMBL giving transparent backgrounds of  
Terminal a 'blur effect'.
For a certain degree 'blurring backgrounds' improve usability, instead  
of being GUI-toy only.
Also, it would integrate well into GUI changes of OSX that came with  
Leopard.

Could something similar be on the roadmap?


BTW: This 'blurring' effect could be accompanied (fo' tha freakanoidz)  
by effects like 'invertation of the background', making it B/W or  
applying textures to it.
And Im thinking these kinds of effects will be supported by Core  
technology,  having in mind that you stated TM2.0 will be absolutly  
build on core libraries of OSX 10.5 Leopard :0)


Thanks in advance!
Dennis

ps: But I also have in mind that you dont think TM will have its own  
background-images, so I consider that you dont put any priority on  
these GUI things :0(
