(In reply to code from comment #2)

I like your idea but I don't know how complex it would be to implement, and its
a very niche use case. Seems very complex in terms of coding, I am not a KDE
developer thought so can't say. I also really liked your mockup, but to be
honest we are slowly making this effects config page overly complex and it will
get very overwhelming (it already is) for many users. I think we could
implement your idea (I don't know about the checkboxes and random effects
though) but in a separate screen dedicated to it. Keep it "simple by default".
Actually, the main desktop effects page should maybe be even more "downgraded"
- it should maybe only show a simple dropdown selector for "Window Open/Close
effect". This way all those hundreds of options (if you install many extra
effects) will get all condensed into a single option, that dropdown selector.
Would have the same functionality it already has, just a lot cleaner. You
clicked the dropdown, you select an effect from all the installed, done. But!
It could also have, bellow that dropdown selector, the idea of "advanced
open/close effect options". By clicking it, the user could be taken to a new
window/page/tab where it would list all the effects in a list way (basically
the way it currently is), separated in two lists, the open effects and the
close effects, where we could choose a different one for each, and here is
where we could use your mockup (comment #2). The idea of choosing multiple
effects could be interesting but we need a kde developer to tell us how
feasible it would be to implement. Might not be worth it because it would be a
very niche use case, having random effects like that, and very complex to
develop.

But I still think we could cleanup that effects page a lot more with that
selector, since it would achieve the same thing as the current implementation.
Maybe I should open a separate wishlist request with this "cleanup" idea?
