You know how sometimes old documents would reuse paper by turning it sideways and writing perpendicularly on top of the old writing? Let's make a window manager that does that, overlap the contents of all your windows at different angles
It’s surprisingly possible (and easy) too… a little bit of tinkering with X11’s compositor API would probably do the trick.
IDK about Wayland tho :/
You could do it in Wayland, too, it's just that every single Wayland app would have to re-implement the rotation and rendering themselves.
Wayfire seems perfectly capable of rotating apps without them being aware of it
