speed up overlay animation
Last modified: 2009-06-02 17:46:14 UTC
The animation time for the overlay is a bit long. We're using 0.5 second. From my quick tests of "another system" it takes about half that time to animate. The other system feels about right.
I tried using gnome-shell with Overlay.ANIMATION_TIME = 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3. On my system, anything below 0.3 looks a bit 'rushed', but 0.3 feels smooth. It makes my system look faster than with the default 0.5, while animating slowly enough to see what's going on.
Created attachment 135755 [details] [review] patch for 0.25s I think this is pretty close to the right feel. That said, it doesn't look very good on my system yet because I'm not getting enough frames in that time. But I think we want to use 0.25 anyway and the performance issues will be fixed in time.
Committed.
