Re: Gala Workspace Animation

 

Okay, +1 on satchitb@xxxxxxxxx's implementation.

If I may, here's how things should go:
You call up the Workspace Switcher (is there a hot corner or something?). The screen slides up.
You switch to the workspace on the right. The screen slides left.
You move/click the mouse somewhere outside the switcher area, dismissing the switcher. The screen slides down.
Ergo, it should be broken up into gentle vertical and horizontal movements, rather than sudden diagonal movements.

Greetings,

A lot of users have expressed an extreme dislike for the Workspace Switcher animation (When clicking on another workspace in the Switcher.)
The issue is that the desktop slides to the left/right as well as down. This does look really odd, and some people report it actually being disorientating to watch.

Maybe we should consider changing the behaviour? (I personally dislike it too). One option is to slide the desktop, and then after the movement is finished, slide the desktop back down.

Thoughts?

Sam
