Change desktop not transitionning

[NoxFly]

Describe the bug

I've setup the CHANGE_DESKTOP gesture. It is working, but only fading, not sliding.

Expected behaviour

The desktops should slide (horizontally) like we can see on the demo, accordingly to the current fingers's position.

Actual behaviour

The animation is only a simple fade and not a slide.

Hi!

Touchégg only animates the little arrow you can see in this GIF: https://github.com/JoseExposito/touchegg#switch-desktopsworkspaces-change_desktop

The change desktop animation is performed by your desktop environment, KDE. Apparently, you can configure the animation used by KDE: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9nb7ki/switch_virtual_desktop_animation_changed/

Closing the issue, since I can not change the animation performed.
