Description Vlad Zahorodnii 2018-09-07 15:49:39 UTC
As the title says, the Minimize Animation effect ignores aspect ratio of windows. They're scaled to match icon geometry.
Comment 1 Vlad Zahorodnii 2018-09-07 15:49:47 UTC
It's been like this for many years so the fix is not really clear.
Comment 2 Vlad Zahorodnii 2018-09-08 10:01:52 UTC
... anyway, I made a minimize effect that preserves aspect ratio.
