Dumb thought question: Why not draw the tooltips animated on the canvas when in a non-composited mode? I can see one problem: you won't be able to see tooltips when the canvas window is obscured. So, when in non-composited, how about combining the on-canvas-animation with a full-fledged X-windo

Ah, on-canvas rendering. That's why you can pull off good-looking effects without compositing. Totally didn't think about that. Wait. So that means that different containments (Panel, Desktop window) are drawn in different canvases, and the big-honking tooltips are just normal X windows? __

Sorry, the effect...it's that little window that has the "resize, delete, configure" buttons for each plasmoid (not sure what to call that window, I just say 'plasmoid utility popup' - PUP, tongue in cheek). The effect for that window is the one that I really like. It is smooth and fast, but not

Comments on cool plasmoid popup animations

2009-03-18 Thread Jud Craft
Hello again! I really like the way the plasmoid utility popups do that quick gliding-fade-in-and-out when you hover on a plasmoid. I think this animation would look good on the big plasmoid tooltips too. For example, when I hover on the big analog clock, the sidebar does the cool sliding-fade-in

The code for handling "open with" action/submenus and servicemenus (RMB / Actions / ...) is currently in libkonq (and used by dolphin and konqueror), but I have received a number of requests for moving that code up to kdelibs. It is already used by the plasma "Locations" runner AFAIK, which won't
