Hi. I am running Enlightenment 0.24.99 24520.

It has always run smooth on my lapton, this is a 2005 Toshiba
with 4 GB RAM. It sports an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
Integrated Graphics Controller.

I know I am pushing the limit here, sorry for that. Since the last
release changing windows with ALT-TAB takes 2 / 3 seconds.  After the
window changes the list of tasks is shown and the back desktop is
blurred for a few seconds. Then the selected window is shown and I can
use it.

how is it blurred. the default theme does not blur the background. i tried that
a while back in flat but testing on an older machine showed it could not keep
up (a 2010 intel laptop with intel gpu) and dropped to like 20-30fps, so i
disabled the filter and it just darkens what is below... so what you describe
must be an altered theme?

Sorry if I barge in into the discussion here. Just yesterday I also updated after some weeks again to he current git versions, now with the flat theme, and experienced the same "issue". (BTW, I also ran into the elput issue and had a jolly time figuring out that I need to enable the DRM option.)

I guess what Francesc intended was exactly this fading to a darker background. On my machine here (i7-3517U) it takes probably about a second. But it is no smooth transition and rather seems to be stuttering along the way, thus feeling really as if the machine is struggling to keep up with rendering this transition. The effect is that the whole process of switching windows feels very sluggish and seems to take ages.

I was also (unsuccessfully) looking around for a way to switch off this transition effect. Switching between windows with Alt-Tab is a very common action and I would like this to be over in literally in the blink of an eye. One can actually quickly switch windows in the current state, cutting the whole transition short right at the start. Still, I would prefer if I can have the window list either appear instantaneously or with a really fast fade-in and -out.

(BTW, this is using the window switcher in list mode, not in large mode where this whole background darkening is probably really necessary as there is otherwise no window to separate the list from the normal desktop.)

Cheers and thanks as always for the great work,
Florian

It doesn't happen in other more modern PC I have.

I wanted to let you know because it looks like something happened
here. Just in case it rings any bell.

I have been looking at the settings in transitions, tasks and many other
places and I couldn't find a way to make it faster.

Is there something I could do ? thanks
