Beryl - hidden secrets

I surprised myself last night by accidentally holding down the super key (also know as the *ahem* Windows key) and scrolling my mouse. It took me ages to work out how I'd zoomed in on the screen, just like I've seen happen on recent flavours of MacOS.

I figured it was a Ubuntu Hardy feature, as I had just upgraded to that but it looks like it's something that's been in Beryl for some time now (just googled and found someone complaining it worked in Feisty but not Gutsy).

I also found that Alt-mousewheel adjusts the opacity of the current window, allowing you to see behind it without having to Alt-Tab.

Go Beryl/OSS :)
