ZUI = zoomable user interface by the way. It resembles the way map software works, so the closer you zoom, the more details/functionality you can access. And here's an awesome video showing off the functionality of a ZUI. I mean, now we're talking desktop effects!

And here are the developers site:

Watching that video, I sort of envisioned patchage. Only that you could zoom in on the connectable boxes, and open the corresponding program... *dreaming*

I even had tried it out as I found it in the repros in Arch, but i couldn't see how it would make my life easier, if you understandlaba170 wrote:Seriously... Have anyone checked out the video? It's really impressive, and I recommend it to you all.

Yes, I understand very well. I haven't tried it myself actually. I just thought the video was seriously impressing.

Re: Are ZUI's the future?
HACKERS I love this idea. In fact I was wanting to create a DM based on FSV but I don't know how to code and I never started learning. This is like someone else has already done this! Of course mine was going to be more like city scape and you could visit other people's cities over the net via an invite. But that would be like user specified space for others to visit. I think this would accomplish the same thing just not themed the way I would want it.
