GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 589657
minimized windows are displayed/hidden smoothly when switching to/from overlay
Last modified: 2009-07-25 23:46:45 UTC
jrb noticed that minimized windows were popping away instantly when leaving the overlay instead fading away smoothly. It seemed like something that would be pretty straight forward to fix, so I took a crack at it while my dinner was roasting.
Created attachment 139191 [details] [review] Fade in/out hidden windows when zooming to/from overlay The overlay view shows minimized windows so that the user can select them. Obviously, the normal view doesn't show minimized windows, though. Previously the transition these minimized windows went through from hidden to visible was very hard. They would "pop" out of (or into) nowhere. This commit adds a fade transition for minimized windows, to make the transition seem smoother.
bug 571109 has code to animate them to/from the task bar, but it doesn't quite work, and that assumes the existence of a task bar anyway... we may have to wait for a final window list/minimization design
oh good. Let's defer to that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 571109 ***
