Remove close animation
Last modified: 2009-09-28 13:58:13 UTC
Having a close animation is sort of nice, since it is explanatory. However: - You've already decided you don't want the window any more if you are closing it yourself. So waiting for it to animate can be annoying. - CRT are becoming rare so the TV-turning-effect isn't necessarily immediately obvious, and can just be weird. - It's a bit ugly because the contents aren't frozen properly and we may see the X server cleaning up the subwindows - We have some stacking order issues with the close animations. (The hacks in Mutter may be buggy) So we should just remove it and make the window immediately vanish.
we don't want a quick fade? also, should the map animation go away too? (or be replaced by a quick fade in)
Created attachment 144088 [details] [review] [windowmanager] Remove destroy effect It slows things down, it's a slightly weird effect, and because the window is still live while it's animating, you may see subwindows being destroyed during the animation.
Comment on attachment 144088 [details] [review] [windowmanager] Remove destroy effect Patch looks fine. (obviously.) From discussion on Thursday, no we don't want a fade and we're OK with the map animation. [I don't have any particularly theoretical reason why a fade would be weird - but it would share all the other problematical considerations - and probably would look worse than the tv effect if the contents were not frozen properly]
