Fundamental Management Facilities
In response to demand of users and application developers, X.Org's X11R6.8 brings forward widely anticipated fundamental facilities through this release. They include the first X Window System support for translucent windows, window animation, window decorations like shadows , support for accessibility applications, support for 3D iuser environments, and support for large-scale display walls using DMX.
These facilities will enable easy implementation of screen magnifiers for accessibility, translucent windows, menus, drop shadows, and even integration of conventional applications into 3D immersive environments.
