SUMMARY
I'd be great if the activity switch animation was improved. Currently, when changing activities that differ in desktop in focus, a weird animation is played: For a short time the current activity background is shown and then the activity and the desktop switch animations are composed which makes desktop name come in place all in a messy way. This doesn't happen if the activity switch is between two activities with the same desktop in use. I'd be great to have that behavior or with a polished animation.
