Other Extension Animation don't work well

[GreyKaizen]

With Dock Extensions i use Compiz Magic Effect Extension. The Animations are synced and work perfectly. In dash2dock lite the animation of other extension are not working in place is it the dock problem or what

No issue with me using magic lamp Effect and dash2docklite simultaneous

Yeah it works fone but uts animation are not synced to the apps in dock it close with animation with flat downward animation ... Not to the app it opened from.

For instance my file explorere is at starting location of dock but the compiz magic animation doesn't close back to the file explorer but some other app in dock hope you get the idea

Screencast from 2023-01-09 15-01-24.webm I believe he is referring to this. Other docks the animation goes up and down with each app not from the center.

I installed this extension: https://github.com/hermes83/compiz-alike-magic-lamp-effect

And I see the problem. And it sounds like it has a problem with dash-to-dock as well (from the comments) . I will spend a little time investigating its source code.

When i use it with dash-to-dock it works fine ... Dash-to-dock-lite however it's not syncing the animation right

I pushed a fix for this on the main branch. Please check if this works already for you. The lamp effect is not centered on the icon though.

I still had to edit the compiz effect extension. At extension.js. line 171

if (transformed_position && transformed_position[0]) {
   transformed_position[0] += dashElement.width/2;
   dashIcon = {x: transformed_position[0], y: monitor.y + monitor.height, width: 0, height: 0};
   return;
}

Perhaps you could post a request with compiz effect developer to add this single line:

transformed_position[0] += dashElement.width/2;

And maybe also..

transformed_position[1] += dashElement.height/2;

So that vertical layouts (Anino Dock) will be centered too.

I might add these animation effects to Anino Dock :) Thanks for posting this bug.

Lamp animations was added. But latest gnome version caused a lot of glitches. This feature is currently disabled until further notice.

Dash2Dock Animated should now be compatible with the Lamp Animation extension (by the original author)
