I always loved over-the-top, somewhat impractical visual effects like this. Reminds me of growing up playing with Compiz Fusion.

For a retro Android game I maintain, I use the term "Gratuitous Eye Straining Effects" in the settings page. It needs to be toggleable, because I can only tolerate it for a short period. My naming was inspired by k9mail's settings called "Gaudy visual effects". May as well have some fun with words when implementing such effects.

In fact, this needs to be a global Compiz effect. It should apply to the entire desktop rather than just a terminal.

But Compiz Fusion wasn’t all about impractical visual effects: wobbly windows was seriously useful, and rather popular, perhaps the one thing that people would leave enabled after playing with all the fun ridiculous stuff for a bit.

Or you could be a nerd of the 1990s and be permanently stuck on the Rotating Cube effect.

How was wobbly windows useful?
