2012-06-22 02:21:35 ainq summary Animate after window render, keep window state cached Gala does not animate after window render, keep window state cached
2012-06-22 02:22:11 ainq description Gala currently animates before window render, resulting in a grey window animating in, and then flashing in the contents. This is very apparent in Switchboard animations. Also, Gala does not keep a window state cache, so closing a window or returning to the homepage on Switchboard both flash in a grey screen before fading. To duplicate, open a window, close the window, open slingshot, click any plug, click the home button, note that at least 1 panel has a grey screen flashed in.

To duplicate, open a window, close the window, open slingshot, click any plug, click the home button, note that at least 1 panel has a grey screen flashed in. I've looked through the compiz fusion code, and compiz does cache the window state, so closing windows doesn't flash a grey screen.

Switchboard does not use the slide anymore, so no need for that fix. The slow exit animation, however, makes this very jarring.

Technically, it wouldn't be difficult at all to cache the window state, especially if the window isn't rendering anymore.

Also, the opening grey flash is very noticeable for slow-opening apps (think office suites), so animating the window after the first frame or so would really help.
