[kwin] [Bug 438883] Re-implement Desktop Cobe effect with modern effects API
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883 Dean Schaf changed: What|Removed |Added CC||deanyourfriendi...@yahoo.co ||m --- Comment #11 from Dean Schaf --- I am very disappointed that you have removed the coolest eye-candy features from KDE Plasma, (Flip Switch and Desktop Cube). They were two of the gems that made me like KDE. I used the glitz-n-glam features since long ago, and now my KDE Plasma usage is utterly boring, disjointed, and ugly. Please bring back the 3-D Desktop Cube and Flip Switch (in all their former glory). Dismayed and gloomy, Keltonix -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883 --- Comment #9 from Maximilian Böhm --- Avid cube user here too. I have been using this effect since the Compiz days in 2007, switched over to Plasma 4’s Kwin in 2011 and used this effect ever since – including the switch animation and even associated a mouse button to activate cube view to turn the cube. It has been a tremendous effective demo for potential Linux switchers. I have even loved the 3D stacked view of floating windows in the cube view. ;(( The slide animation has no soul to it. It’s terribly sterile. And I’m loosing my mental concept of windows stacked in a virtual space. What’s next, remove wobbly windows? Guys, that’s a bummer! ;(( If it had low statistic usage, maybe because it wasn’t the default? Just a wild guess. If there is potential of a feature bounty, count me in to invest in restoring this jewel. Addendum: Now discovered that the 3D window switch effect is gone too. Guuuys, I’m crying, that’s no overstatement. This better reproduction of Vista’s Flip 3D effect was my standard switcher and I LVED it SO MUCH! Such a great representation of all my windows in 3D space, it was truly a masterpiece with its swift & elegant animations and drew much attention of potential Linux switchers. You are crippling the user experience of your power users with this horrible premature choice.

I'm adding here my voice because the assumption given at https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/1075 "given that they are not used widely based on support information from various bug reports" I've been using it long ago, and I had no reason to apply for a bug until now. I hope the dropping of this cube effect would be reconsiderate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883 Paul Hands changed: What|Removed |Added CC||jpha...@gmail.com --- Comment #7 from Paul Hands --- I want to add my voice to the list of people who hate that the Desktop Cube has been removed. I did a routine (246 items, no way to read all the change notes) update yesterday, which required a reboot, and when it came back up, that effect was just gone...no warning or option to not upgrade...how very like windows or apple..total disdain for the user. A KDE user since KDE 3 (way back in 2002) I've been using cube exclusively for at least 10 years, and it is, to me, one of the defining features that made KDE the best in its class. I use it every day, all day. Multiple desktops on the cube, each with a different focus...development, testing, documentation, multimedia, games... This is likely to make me stop using KDE completely. Is there any sign of a plan and timeline to rebuild it in QML, or shall I just try to go back to Compiz? I guess it's time to see if Gnome is any good these days. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883 --- Comment #5 from Petr --- workaround: downgrade to plasma 5.22.5 (about 85 packages) and insert an exception into dnf (/etc/dnf/dnf.conf) for all the packages. i will never update plasma until cube is back. -> it is really sad, to see all my beloved features from kde4 going away. be it "keramik" window decorations, different backgrounds on desktops or now cube switcher. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Tracking that with this bug > report. this unique feature i have used since ... at least 10 years and it is the most distinguishing feature of any desktop sw. it has been the only feature, which hindered me to go for activities to have different widgets on different screens (since it has been abandoned from kde4). not having the cube is a totally different experience and i don't understand, why these nice features are just not taken care of in first place. so, so, so sad. please bring it back! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883 Scott Newton changed: What|Removed |Added CC||sco...@quantumchaos451.co.n ||z --- Comment #3 from Scott Newton --- I would certainly like to see this back again. I've been using it for years and I cannot remember the last time it gave me any sort of issue, so not sure why it was removed in 5.23. I could understand if it was buggy, but, as I've said, it's been rock solid for me and I use it everyday. Personally I dislike both the fade and slide effects, so have always used the desktop cube effect. At the moment I'm back to using no effect.
