Bug ID: 449939
Summary: Kwin’s Scale effect in 5.24 looks cheap, lost visible
tilting phase
Product: kwin
Version: 5.24.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@elbmurf.de
Target Milestone: ---
Plasma 5.24 seems to got a rewrite of Kwins Scale effect for window openings
and closings. In my opinion, not for the better. The new effect is a zoom-in
(and -out) of the window with a certain momentum and additional fade-in (and
-out).
The former Scale effect was a much more subtle zoom-in with fade-in, and its
topping was a subtle tilting, related to the Glide effect but less striking.
This new Scale effect does look cheaper, it reminds me of the first Compiz
experiments. Especially the closing animation is way to ostentatious. It’s
irritating (this is saying a lover of the Cube and Wobbly Windows). And the
subtle tilting of the old version was a pleasant detail. If I look
frame-by-frame, the new effect also has an ultra-short tilting phase, but right
an the beginning of the fade-in (or -out)
I’m attaching a visual comparison between the two effects in Plasma 5.23 and
older and Plasma 5.24 (H.265 4K).
