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. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon Testing Edition KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.5.0-41-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4400 Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard Product Name: HP EliteBook 840 G1 System Version: A3009DD10303 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Note that I'm using the live environment of the KDE Neon testing ISO that was available for download on the 27th of June 2024. Also this might be a bug in Spectacle and not KWin.
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
