Aesthetically none of the ways this has changed are appealing to me. > Sorry if a bit negative, hope others like it but I won't be using it. Yeah, i agree That's a reasonable replacement for me. And it's way easier for them to maintain though One of the reasons i used this is that i like skeuomorphism and detailed desktops, so i also miss other effects like the cube desktop switch when they got removed, and removing reflections made it feel very incomplete for me, basically not a upgrade Not having the opening animation also made it feel incomplete, and having the tasks going like teleporting instead of moving when i hold Tab down makes it feels glitcy (they move when i single-press Tab though) This replacement was needed ans it's cool that we have it instead of losing that option, but it was mostly a downgrade and it doesn't gets on the feet of the older one that got removed. I give it 5/10, well, better than nothing. Since i manually updated the switchers on the latest Plasma release, they have got broken and somehow downgrading them did not solve this, so i'm waiting for the next Plasma release on Manjaro that'll bring these replacements. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443757 --- Comment #14 from Josesk Volpe --- A difference is that the old animation used direct coding OpenGL features to work and was forked from Compiz, the new one now uses Qt libraries and QML language. ¿Is it possible to add reflections on the new way it's coded? If so, we can fork it -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Committed on 23/12/2021 at 17:27. Pushed by iasensio into branch 'master'. [windowswitchers] QML replacement for flipswitch and coverswitch Rewrite of the flipswitch and coverswitch window switchers in QMl, using the KWin Tabbox API and PathView to layout the thumbnails. The use of common Plasma components, following the user's theme, and lack of reflections gives the effects a more modern (breezy) look, consistent with the user's desktop and the other tabswitchers.
