[feature request] fade/crossfade transition #90

Closed yogiee closed 2 years ago

yogiee commented 3 years ago

Will it be possible to add crossfade transition between wallpaper changes? Current the change is kinda abrupt in slideshow mode, unlike Windows' own wallpaper slideshow changes.

Currently Superpaper uses what the operating system provides, so at least on KDE the slideshow automatically uses a fade animation. Implementing fade on other platforms that don't do this would need a lot of work and large changes to implement it. Unless there's some simple platform specific ways to enable it, I reckon that it probably won't be done.

Edit: Whoops, somehow I missed both the fact that you said you're using Windows and that Windows is not actually doing a fade. I'll look into it at some point if it can be enabled at least on Windows.

This seems relevant, posting it mostly for myself to find it easily: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56974396

Oh sorry, I should've mentioned that. Using Windows 10 on laptop with dual external monitors.
