just the general communications of it. things on the taskbar bounce sometimes for notifications, when you enter the password wrong the panel shakes, etc etc. I am forced to use one for work, so I don’t spend too much time trying to customise it, I gave it a once over to get rid of most of the annoying things.
At home I’ve gone from Windows (non 11) -> KDE , so things are a lot more “colour change” instead of “animations”
EDIT : oh shit, it’s you! Thanks again for all your contribs in !music@lemmy.world
The bounce thing is great, in my opinion. The app typically bounces three or so times to let me know something happened, then stops and only bounces periodically if there’s an ongoing thing requiring my attention. Iirc this is tied to the notification settings specific to each app, so is happening only with apps that I want to notify me.
I’ve actually made my own app using this bouncing mechanic: a timer that shows the remaining time in the badge on the dock icon, and bounces continually once the time is up. It’s launched via the command line, or rather via the Alfred launcher by banging out a command like ‘timer 3m’. There’s no other interface. Took about 200 lines in a single Swift file. I’m gonna have to make something analogous for Linux once I find a decent alternative to Alfred.
