Description Nate Graham 2025-11-21 21:47:31 UTC

KWin is at 996edc217bcc84ba76bb056093dde77dc4f8c897, and Spectacle's full-screen overlay is respecting the configured window open/close animation. This is rather visually disruptive.

It didn't used to do this, and the behavior started happening within the last day or two. Nothing in Spectacle has meaningfully changed, leading me to suspect KWin.

Maybe https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8437 or something related?

Comment 1 Zamundaaa 2025-11-21 21:59:45 UTC

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8338 removed the special casing for Spectacle in effects. Perhaps we need to re-add it specifically for its fullscreen windows.

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-11-21 22:08:02 UTC

That would work, yeah. It's only the full-screen window that needs this treatment.

Add KWaylandExtras::{setXdgToplevelTag,setXdgToplevelDescription}

These can be used to mark xdg toplevel surfaces so the compositor could
apply custom rules to them.
