Description Tamás Králl 2024-06-27 16:21:14 UTC

SUMMARY
When opening the Spectacle screenshot tool either through the Application Launcher or by pressing 'Print Screen' (or possibly other ways), the standard window opening animation isn't present. The same happens when the user closes the window. It disappears immediately as if the animation speed was set to instant.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle
2. Close Spectacle

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no animation when opening/closing the application, even though Spectacle looks just like any other KDE Application.

EXPECTED RESULT
There would be animations for opening/closing the program, similar to other KDE Applications' behavior.

This is intentional so that spectacle doesn't get caught in spectacle's own screenshots. 

Arguably it could be more fine-grained, but it's diminishing returns requiring new API
