Enhancement suggestion (dock peeking): user-defined setting to reduce or turn off motion effects

[0n0mat0p03ia]

Consider a user-defined setting to turn off the motion effects that are currently used to display the preview window pop-up when dock peeking. Dock peeking heavily employs motions effects that can be distracting. With motion effects turned off, the expected behavior when dock peeking would be to show the fully rendered preview pop-up when a dock icon is clicked.

Will be in 1.0.3

Using 1.0.5. Hover Window Sliding Animation is disabled. Still see a lot of animation effects. The time stamps below refer to this video.

• 00:03
  • The Brave app window preview is very briefly overlaid on the list of minimized Firefox windows, then it fades out. Not sure if this is by design
  • There is an animation effect for the app icon and name, the background "pill" expands/shrinks
• 00:04
  • There's an animation effect when dock peek is performed on the Line app
• 00:05
  • There is an animation effect when dock peek is performed again on the Brave app

In all cases above, the preference is for no animation effects when animations are disabled

I see, I thought you just wanted to disable the sliding animation. You want global, entire disabling of animations, correct?

That's my personal preference, I generally find animation effects a bit distracting. It's nice to give the user a choice to enable/disable if possible. People with certain motor or visual issues might appreciate this too.

Not sure if you want to implement a single global setting, or allow users to enabled/disable individual effects. I'll leave that up to you.
