Animations run on manual resizes
Platform
Arch
GPU, drivers, and screen setup
amd
Environment
bspwm
Steps of reproduction
- Just resize a window
Expected behavior
Picom does not try to animate the resize
Current Behavior
picom animates the resize (see: https://youtu.be/0f3Cj5i-s0M look 14s to when I resize the terminal)
Other details
To fix this issue I suggest have a
ignore-resize: 5
So then picom will not animate a resize unless the window dimensions change by more then 5px
Sounds interesting.
Do you think a similar option should also exist for translations (i.e., window movement)?
Not sure where I should mention this but I have revisited this compositer and it's amazing! I am getting great performance and few dropped frames on qtile. All it needs for me to switch back to xorg (I switched away because wayfire had better animations) is this feature!
Do you have some progress with this issue or workaround? Mainly manual movement and resizing of windows in floating layouts to stop animations.
As far as I'm aware of no but I no longer use this project so it could have been added without this issue being closed
But thinking about it on some wm there might be an option to make windows only move on mouse release when you drag or resize them
@dccsillag Hello. I have many questions on reddit about your picom fork. All these questions are still about switch off animations for manual movement and resizing windows. It means if the window is manual moved by user, do not start animations.
Do you have some possibility or idea to find solution for it? I think that this is very important issue for any compositor to distinguish what is automatic to animate and what is manual to keep maximal speed without animation.
If you haven't idea or time, please provide any answer. I need some response for questions. Thanks for help.
