[Development] About 3D desktop.

[Stef Bon]

Yes the 3D window manager looks a lot at the idea I want to work on.

Any point in the 3D WM (a good name!) has three components:

Also important here is what is called in Dutch a "verdwijnpunt". I do
not know the translation, but the horizon is something like that,
where all parallel lines meet..)
