  • transition-pow-w animation easing on the window width (default: 1.5)
  • transition-pow-h animation easing on the window height (default: 1.5)
  • size-transition whether to animate window size changes (default: true)
  • spawn-center-screen whether to animate new windows from the center of the screen (default: false)
