Passive cursor bug (leaving traces) is bug #260727 OP suggests to drop all but bouncing and make startup feedback a toggle. IIRC Fredrik had once mentioned to have a completely different replacement for the startup feedback mechanism (no mouse cursor icon shape stuff) @Joseph The entry in the effect lists exists, because it lists *all* effects and the effect only overtakes painting whe using GL compositing (because those littly things create a pretty huge overhead in that case) It has no direct impact on whether startup feedback is used or not. There's a bug about the effect configuration being to complex (and the idea was to completely dissamble it, have effects align to some regular settings and only allow direct manipulation of effect loading through a dedicated dialog) Reg. the idea to reduce startup feedback mechanisms: a) that's actually not a KWin topic ("you're on the wrong product") b) this is likely best discussed at the KDE brainstorm forum [1] - at least the KWin maintainer/developers are unlikely in position to decide such on their own. [1] http://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=83&sid=7289578934bf723c26e844bcb165ce6a I changed the target of my bug report to something humbler, so opened it again. Surprisingly, the whole thing changed after upgrading from 4.10.90 to 4.10.95. 1. Passive effect started to show same bug tracked in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260727 2. Blinking effect works again (even if it's ugly:) 3. Bouncy effect now desaturates when moving cursor. This happens only when OpenGL 2.0 or 3.1 is selected. Works in 1.2 mode. VSync doesn't change things. please attach the output of "qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation" (In reply to comment #2) > 3. Bouncy effect now desaturates when moving cursor.

Dirty shader state, but color correction is disabled. - Does it "desaturate" slowely or instanly? - Does it matter where you move it? - Does it really "desaturate" or rather "darken" or "get translucent"? - Does it happen when deactivating either * blurring * translucency * dialogparent * fade (and restart the compositor afterwards, ie. press "Shift+Alt+F12" twice) - Can you record a video / make one or two screenshot(s)? > Dirty shader state, but color correction is disabled. > > - Does it "desaturate" slowely or instanly? instantly > - Does it matter where you move it? no > - Does it really "desaturate" or rather "darken" or "get translucent"? desaturate, as far as i can see > - Does it happen when deactivating either > * blurring > * translucency > * dialogparent > * fade > (and restart the compositor afterwards, ie. press "Shift+Alt+F12" twice) yes > - Can you record a video / make one or two screenshot(s)? https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbnssdljf4wbfd3/desktop_video.mp4 (In reply to comment #6) > > - Can you record a video / make one or two screenshot(s)? > https://www.dropbox.com/s/gbnssdljf4wbfd3/desktop_video.mp4 Could this be the diabled icon look (or whatever causes the desaturated & translucent icon on the taskbar) no, it happens on every launcher, e.g. kickoff too. Yes, no. I meant the effect you can configure in "kcmshell4 icons" / "Advanced" tab > Could this be the diabled icon look (or whatever causes the desaturated &

ok, got it. No, doesn't change anything.
But i've just found something funny. I was noticing that bouncy cursor sometimes is working as expected: when? When non-qt windows have focus, it works. When a qt window is on top (not necessarily active), is see the bug.
Tricky
Any impact of either GUI style ("kwrite --style plastique") or window opacity? > Any impact of either GUI style ("kwrite --style plastique") or window
> opacity?
nope
should change title like
"Bouncy" busy cursor: desaturated app icon when moving cursor and qt app has focus"
don't ask me why, but in 4.11 final it just works :) simply great release guys, you rock! |
