Comment 1 Nate Graham 2020-10-29 18:56:54 UTC 
There isn't a generic protocol for this on Wayland right now, which would need to be implemented and agreed upon first. One is being worked on: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/50
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2020-10-30 09:59:19 UTC 
I'm not sure what Nate is referring to. Plasma can activate other apps from the task manager.

Animation should be the same.


I didn't think we had animations from currently unlaunched-pinned apps on X though.
Comment 3 Pawel 2020-10-30 10:02:44 UTC 
on X, there are two animations that I can observe when launching an application pinned to the icon-only taskbar. One is the bouncy icon animation attached to the cursor and the other is the spinning circle animation attached to the pinned icon itself. 

On Wayland, there is nothing. Neither animation is played.

I hope I have described the animations correctly!
Comment 4 Ivan 2020-10-30 10:23:58 UTC 
I confirm the issue reported by Pawel.
No animation on the task manager icons and no bouncing/blinking mouse pointer.
Comment 5 David Edmundson 2020-10-30 10:45:50 UTC 
Oh! Startup Indicators.

Now I understand Nate's reference.
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2020-10-30 13:36:10 UTC 
Yep. :)
