Bug ID: 455760
Summary: Reimplemented Flip 3D window switcher in 5.24+: The
window on top should be closer and disappear in front
of you
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@elbmurf.de
Target Milestone: ---
This made much of the appeal of the old implementation till Plasma 5.22: The
last window, the nearest to you
1) was bigger, so you could better see its content
2) was dashing at your direction and when you tabbed further, disappearing just
in front of you ('bigger than real'), which gave it a playful character.
For comparison, see a video of the old Kwin implementation of this effect,
watch it in slo-mo: https://youtu.be/3U9mXwYj0zU?t=108
The reimplementation since 5.24 has a distanced perspective. The top window is
smaller, never gets bigger than it would be on the desktop at the out
transition and in general, it looks like it is filmed with a wide angle
objective lens. It’s not the same fun the old effect has had.
I recommend to change the perspective to a bit more middle-window view. »Move
the camera a bit more to the right and come two steps closer.«
This reimplementation is compensating lacking transparency with this wider
viewing angle. Reimplementing transparency would fix that.
