Thanks God, no. wmaker won't make you put up with any of that nonsense! Although, there is a git repo for an un-official wmaker branch (
http://repo.or.cz/w/wmaker-crm.git) which has a new maximumize(or maximus) feature which is copied from some other WM.
Too bad you didn't ask for the rotating cube -there's a DockApp which creates a small rotating cube for you :-)
While, un-official, this repo has an active group of contributors who are fixing bugs and adding a few small goodies to wmaker. I also have a nice wdm setup, over 100 DockApps and the WSound server around -some of it on my site at:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/...inux/download/
Oh wait, wmaker has for a long time had some animation effects -just drag a DockApp into the dock, then drag it back out and watch it explode!
I haven't heard it mentioned yet, but I rather expect that someone will come along adding window transparency before long...
