[Bug 1378267] Re: Suspended app screenshots are blurry

 

I discussed this with Michael and we had the following thoughts

-We should store the screenshots in full res up to some point (like
720p, to be tested when implementing). So on low res devices they are
full resolution, on higher dpi devices there won't be that much of a
visible diff anyway. Full res screenshots on very high dpi devices is
not advisable due to high memory fingerprint

-let's make sure the screenshots are stored as 8bit png's and not 24bit
- big memory/size difference and we don't need the alpha channel

-Desaturation and spinner (same way as when starting the app) to
indicate state is being restored and the app is not able to respond

-fade out the spinner and have a small crossfade between the desaturated
screenshot and the running app in the end if possible

Title:
  Suspended app screenshots are blurry

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
