--- Comment #21 from Terry Wang <ter...@gmail.com> ---
Only discovered the removal of several
Ref: https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/plasma/5/5.22.5-5.23.0/
Removed
- Effects: Remove Desktop Cube Animation effect. Commit.
- Effects: Remove Desktop Cube effect. Commit.
- Effects: Remove Cover Switch effect. Commit.
- Effects: Remove Flip Switch effect. Commit.
I understand the motivation behind the refactor / rewrite to modernize APIs and
etc., however, how do you (dev team) conclude that "they are not used widely
based on support information from various bug reports and our available man
power is sparse, the most reasonable thing is to drop the effect,
unfortunately." ???
This engineering mindset - "We've built great things, if users don't know how
to use / adapt, it's their problem" can't be accepted.
This reminds me the removal of GNOME 3.8 fallback mode, where integration with
Compiz (Fusion) went completely broken. It appears that the GNOME developers
know more about user behaviours than their users and therefore made the
decision on their behalf without consulting users.
I've switched to KDE 4.10 SC because of the disappointment at GNOME 3 (3.8 to
be accurate). I was surprised to find most of the effects - eye-candies that I
care about, embedded to my daily routine were implemented by KWin, happy till
recently when I found the cube effect when switching workspaces (virtual
desktops) were gone in KWin 5.23 (I run Manjaro with KDE on Pi 4 8GB model and
an old MacBook).
Please reimplement these effects when appropriate. We don't want to see the
classic representation of Linux desktop eye-candies fade away.
