Slide Back Effect on Window Focus #434

Closed NettoHikari closed 7 months ago

NettoHikari commented 7 months ago

Hello, guys!

I wondered if it was possible to not only apply effects to window creation and destruction events, but also to window focus events?

The Idea

On KDE Plasma, there's an effect for window focus called "slide back", if I remember correctly. When focusing a window, the previously active window slides behind the newly focused window. I'd really like to have this effect on GNOME, as well.

Thanks a lot for your work!

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion. I remember this from the good old Compiz days.

However, I think that this is not really in the scope of Burn-My-Windows but would rather deserve its own extension. I would love to work on this, but I am afraid that I do not have enough time these days. Maybe you can try creating something like this yourself? Or you ask on reddit if something would like to implement this?
