Description Wesley Velroij 2008-07-24 23:02:22 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          kde-nightly 
OS:                Linux

I like the way how apps minimize in osx and i like to have the same effect in kde4.2

The effect is called Magic Lamp i believe.

Its nice its in the trunk but it does not minimize like the magic lamp in osx does.

When i have magic lamp effect on it minimize indeed like magic lamp but its not good you see aan reflecting of the minized window for like a sec or half.

I do not have Mac OS X and Apple's code is not open so I can't implement the effect exactly the same as Apple did. Btw I don't think we even should copy the effect. It is in my opinion quite ok to have the effect a little bit different.

I know there is some conflict with shadow effect. But I have not yet noticed any other glitches.
