GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 689091
The Desktop < > Overview transition could use some tweaking.

Created attachment 229913 [details] Demo This is about the 'message-tray' component, as selected. If you open the Overview and close it again, you'll notice the background-color + noise bg appear for a fraction of a second. Something that needs a cleanup. As far as my understanding goes, it's trying to show the gray bg and nicely hide it which creates a slightly bad effect in the process. I think the gray bg belongs to the desktop, when showing the overview it should not try to display it at all and the same thing can be said when coming back to the desktop, it should just close it while keeping the 'in-overview' styles without bothering with the 'background-image' from the desktop.
Created attachment 229917 [details] [review] MessageTray: wait until the tray is hidden to switch styles Switching style on Overview::hiding creates a weird effect, as the noise texture is shown while the overview is still visibile. Instead, wait for the tray to be fully hidden, then apply the new style. As now the switch is invisible, there is no need for the transition (which introduced the same problem on overview showing)

Uhm, I thought of that, but IMHO if you hit the hot corner, you're so overwhelmed by the desktop clone transition combined with the window moving in place that you probably don't notice it.
This bug will hopefully be obsoleted by bug 687787.
Review of attachment 229918 [details] [review]: After trying it out, yeah, it's not that important.
