[Bug 1378267] Re: Suspended app screenshots are blurry

 

So the problem is this:

When an app gets killed by a low memory condition, only a screenshot is
kept in the right edge spred. If the user then clicks on that
screenshot, it is animated to foreground and the app restarted behind
the scenes. However, starting an app might take a bit. During this time,
the screenshot appears frozen to the user. While presenting a blurred
screenshot is not good, I think just adding a full-resolution screenshot
isn't good either because the user will try to interact with it.

So we'd need a design on what to do with the screenshot (probably
desaturated or something) and if there should be a spinner or something
on top of it to indicate that it's loading.

Bug description:
  It's really obvious that an app has been suspended when I switch to it
  and the screengrab is really blurry. Would be really nice if it wasn't
  blurry.

  See screenshots. One shows blurry clock that I switched to, and then
  the non-blurry real clock a few seconds later.
