The Annotation and fire effects are normally just for show, but when
you are making screen shots for documentation or doing instruction,
these could be very handy. Too bad most screen capture tools don't
include the mouse pointer, or options to include the pointer. I wonder
if the show mouse effect would appear in a screen capture?
While playing with Compiz settings a few months back, I had the crazy
idea to use 8 sides, rotate inside the octagon, have a chain link
fence background with crowd behind, just so I could be in the UFC via
Compiz. Nah, maybe not...
