[Bug 1488148] Re: windowed mode right edge spread selection needs animation

 

I reconsidered this use case and undrstood that the switch from the
switcher to the desktop is a bit abrupt. We want to keep the transition
snappy so that it wound't start to annoy the user in the long run. I
created a prototype of it and with a little bit animation it feels much
better and smoother. In addition now the switch is in line with what
happens on the phone switcher at the moment.

** Description changed:

  when in windowed mode, invoke right edge spread (through swipe or mouse pressure)
  currently selecting an application in the spread is a hard feeling switch to the focus on the application
+ 
+ ---------Desired design-----------------
+ The angled and cropped spread item that is selected by the user should animate from its spread position to its windows actual place and size in the normal desktop mode.
+ 
+ Selection animation behaviour and parameters:
+ - When one of the items is clicked the other items hide immediately. Also workspaces
+ - The black overlay (between the task switcher content and desktop) opacity animation to 0
+ - The spread item cropping container grows to original window size during the animation
+ - Angle changes back to 0 during the animation
+ - Background blur animates to 0 during the animation.
+ - Animation duration: FastDuration (for the item that's focused)
+ - Use UbuntuAnimation.StandardEasing

** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
       Status: Triaged => Fix Committed
