- ufo 8y agoNetwork transparency isn't as useful now that most apps use toolkits like gtk or qt instead of raw X drawing primitives. The toolkits render the UI into a pixel buffer, which takes a lot of bandwidth over the network.
- pmarin 8y agoThat is not an excuse to don’t make the protocol network transparent. If people can stream an HD game to their living room TV I don’t think a desktop application have to be much different.
- adrusi 8y agoThere's video compression going on when they do that. If that's what you want, VNC works just fine.

- Sir_Cmpwn 8y agoNo one is really interested in doing the work for you, but we're interested in helping you if you want to put in the work yourself. It's possible in theory and wouldn't even be terribly difficult.
