Can you also show an example of what this would do to the shutdown screen? Before and after please?

Before

_Current the Scale In effect. (I increased its duration up to 5 seconds so the animation is more noticable on the video)_

FWIW, the Fade effect, the Logout effect, and the Scale In effect conflict with each other.

After

@abetts Could you also please take a look at D13155?

Love it! Is the effect going to be that slow?

No, it will be faster. On the videos, I set animation duration to 5s(default is 160 ms) to see clearly what effects are doing.

I'm afraid that increasing animation duration changes overall feel of the scale animations. Recording these effects with the default animation duration(160ms) is a little bit challenging for me. It would be great if you could test them by yourself and give me some hints on how to improve them.

Thanks, just wanted to be sure.

@abetts I recorded the Scale In effect and the Scale Out effect at higher frame rates with the default animation duration(160ms). Could you please check them?

I am not sure how. I am running git dev unstable. Would it show if I do an update?

No-no, I am about videos, I re-recorded them. See summary for this diff and D13155. ;-)

Looks really good! Good work! +1

Why abandon this one? It's improving an existing effect. Surely Martin won't veto it...

Its future is not clear to me (assuming the desire to remove this one), maybe, all this work is for nothing.

Don't give up! We'll find a way to get your work into users' hands. The proposed kwin-extras repo/package might be a good compromise if Martin insists that KWin needs to ship without this effect.

Either way, I strongly encourage you to revive this patch. :) I support it.
