Zoom effect - lag appears when increased icon is about to decrease. Other than that it is smooth. Movie is worth a two thousand words: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1U3ckw-O8_5gnOekJ4IQyNDfHdBIXT6SO
> Zoom effect - lag appears when increased icon is about to decrease. Zoom effect has been implemented based on visual reverse engineering and user feedback. There is a delay there by the current implementation, the timer in order to check if the mouse is outside a parabolic effect capable area is at 90ms so it shouldnt add any significant delay, but in order to be triggered the mouse must reach an area that isnt parabolic effect capable. try to run latte from terminal with: latte-dock -d --graphics --spacers it will show you the current magic used, the biggest delay I notice is because of the hidden spacers at the borders. Play with it and reply me your findings...

I couldn't find any spacers or they are hidden too well ;-D This issue is present with any layout (including "default layout"), any location, any activity...even on live session, installed from scratch! Do these warnings and errors clarify issue? Thanks for quick reply and your time. Cheers

> they are only visually shown when your mouse is at the last elemenent at the > dock and you are slowly trying to go out of the dock Confirmed - there is no hidden spacers. I have to agree, the idea with hidden spacers makes a lot of sense. However, if it were true, the delay woudn't be present in case cursor leaves dock from the top, not from sides. Unfortunately delay is there, no matter if the last element is on the right, left or somewhere in the middle. Tough one! isn't it? ;-) Ok, thanks anyway. Cheers
Perhaps not exactly the same issue (?), I was just checking the zoom effect and it has improved quite a lot since the last time I tried latte-dock. Two things I wanted to note: 1. would it be possible to set the zoom effect to more than 100% zoom? 2. here's a [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvQwhS09_v4&feature=youtu.be) of the zoom effect on latte-dock on my desktop, and here's a [video of plank](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0dQwrRwe8o&feature=youtu.be) zoom effect. I think the effect on plank is a bit quicker, but apart from that it looks much better when the mouse leaves the dock altogether. Would it be possible to replicate that effect? Thanks for the awesome dock, and sorry if I'm not using the bug report correctly.

I dont think it can be done faster than that in QML because afterwards the painting was not too good, there were cases that the restore zoom animation was instantly drawn without creating a nice smooth painting effect
