It's been a while, and hopefully some tempers have simmered. I'm
playing again with my little 'Rotated Windows' demo app, and have
updated it with a nifty new effect that pretends to flip the window.
it's not as flash as Dashboard widgets yet (no perspective during the
flip), but that is of course the ultimate aim. It looks nice as is
though, so I thought some people might be interested in using it.

FWIW, this new addition was inspired by the WindowFlipper example by
M. Uli Kusterer, available at <http://www.zathras.de/angelweb/
sourcecode.htm>. It has the right visual effect, but the performance
isn't good enough - it snapshots the window and then renders it into
a transparent window/view, rather than using the window server's
transform methods which are accelerated by the GPU.
Also, again, if anyone wants to argue about the ethics of doing this,
keep it off list.
