Load the fade plugin after the switcher plugin (go ccsm -> preferences -> plugin list -> allow manual sorting -> move switcher before fade) > > Both help, but both feel like workarounds. > > Didier: I've just noticed the setting just below those "Build Mipmaps > for smooth scaling"...

This happens on the GPU, it should not be slow. The real problem here is that the decorator is used to draw the switcher window and we have several round-trips and waiting for it to appear. This has been in compiz since the beginning of time and I plan to change it at some point, however it will require extensive work when I do end up fixing it. > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz > packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683635 > > Title: > remove fade from the compiz plugin list > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > -- Sam Spilsbury -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683635 Title: remove fade from the compiz plugin list -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
