Hello, Would it be possible to have someone knowledgeable about the inner working of Compiz to change the messages CCSM uses (which can be found here<http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/?p=compiz;a=blob;f=metadata/core.xml.in;h=8fa18ab503a4c245a6f77582706d29bbbb654cc5;hb=HEAD>) to be understandable to us not really technical people? One example would be the 'Sync To VBlank' option. I have no idea what VBlank is, so how, what will sync to it, I have no idea. Checking the tooltip, 'Only perform screen updates during vertical blanking period', I know now that sync means a screen update, but what's a vertical blanking period then? Would be great if someone helped make ccsm more clear :) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I guess it's a boring work, but I'm sure there's a bunch of people who could do it (I think there's a good basis on available http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ . Regards, Guillaume
