Describe the Bug

I recently upgraded my OS (Pop os 21.10) to 22.04 LTS Beta. After completing the upgrade, I noticed the extensions that I manually installed before is removed. So I added this favorite extension back but I am unable to view the configuration settings. I am on Gnome 42.

Please refer to the following message:

Somthing's gone wrong We're very sorry but there's been a problem: the settings for this extension can't be displayed. We recommend that you report the issue to the extension authors.

The settings of extension [email protected] had an error:

Please guide me how to fix this and thanks in advance!

Instead of the effect the window is displayed as a black box and then (dis)appears after the effect duration.

As suggested on reddit I tried checking the output of "journalctl -f -o cat". This seems to be the error hat comes up when a windows is opened/closed:

If I switch desktops while an effect is active, kwin seems to crash, as all programs close and kde restarts (which is what I've seen happen before if I kill kwin). I'll try to find logs

Describe the Bug

I can't set any effects on the setup screen. I am always offered an empty-menu! (See the screen-shot)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Welcome window (First window of the extension: Burn my window setting)
2. Click on --> Chose of animation Menu-list
3. See error --> no choice is allowed, the menu is empty!

You may also check the output of GNOME Shell for any error messages. This can be done with the following terminal command. Execute this in a terminal and observe the output while reproducing the bug.

System

• Linux Garuda
• Burn-My-Windows version 12
• GNOME Shell version: 42.0-0.1

Describe the Bug

Installed 5.25.90 (plasma 5.26 beta) and the animation and window draw orders are out of sequence for both opening and closing windows. Opening a new Window has the Window appear, play the animation and then redraw the window. Closing a Window has the the animation play over the Window before the Window disappears. If relevant this is a Wayland session

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set an effect in Kwin Effects
2. Open Window
3. Observe Window appears, animation plays over it, Window flickers and then is redrawn
4. Close Window
5. Animation plays over Window, only then does it disappear instead of as the animation plays

System

Please complete the following information:

• Linux distribution Fedora Rawhide
• Burn-My-Windows version v21
• Plasma Shell version: 5.25.90

The Idea

If you add this effect to https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=209&ord=latest . It can then be easely installed through the kwin ui. (Get new things or discover)

Describe the Bug

All in activities overview:

• after you DND a window clone to another workspace, the clone isn't removed from the original workspace.
• after closing a window, the burn animation is performed, but the clone is not completely removed from the workspace overview, remaining window clones won't rearrange.

JS ERROR: TypeError: actor is undefined
_shouldDestroy@/home/user/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/extension.js:204:33

• switching to another workspace and back after closing a window will cause this error:

Object .Gjs_ui_workspace_WindowClone (0x557192ec8e40), has been already deallocated — impossible to access it. This might be caused by the object having been destroyed from C code using something such as destroy(), dispose(), or remove() vfuncs.

Burn my windows do not animation open window animation when I use with "Focus" extension. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3924/focus/

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. set "Open Window Animation".
2. run "open window animation". -> no problem.
3. set "Focus" extension to True.
4. cannot run Open Window Animation.

• Should I consult with Focus team?

Describe the Bug

When opening Emacs window and the toggle-frame-maximized is set to true the effect will froze and stays on the window permanently. See screenshot bellow.

When removing toggle-frame-maximized the behavior stops.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Emacs
2. Add following lines to ~/.emacs

;; Start maximised (cross-platf)
(add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'toggle-frame-maximized t)

3. Enable Burn My Windows extension
4. Open Emacs window

Expected Behavior

The effect will finish as when played on other windows

System

• Linux distribution [Fedora 35 Silverblue]
• Burn-My-Windows version [Burn-My-Windows 10]
• GNOME Shell version: [41.3]

The Motivation

In 90's, I used a funny Windows effect on Apollo AEGIS system. Its name was Tartine. Window dripped from top to bottom, like a slice of melted butter. I saw people put their hand under the screen! Could you add this effect?

Hi buddy, Your Progress Is Rock Man I have an additional effect 💡 could you add claw scratch ====================here is examples & free materials =================

=================================================== Cheers 😊

Describe the Bug

On KDE (have not tested in GNOME) window decorations pop-in after the animation is complete instead of appearing with the decoration if the decorations are not default KDE.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Apply a set of window decorations. (tested with Kyzenred and Materia Manjaro Dark Solid and Plastik)
2. Apply a burn-my-windows affect
3. Open a window that will follow system decorations (a good one is to click the settings icon of the effect you just added)

System

Please complete the following information:

• Garuda Linux, up to date
• I assume most recent? I installed via https://store.kde.org/p/1884309 yesterday and installed a few more for testing just now
• KDE 5.26.4

This is a pretty simple issue so I feel like it might just be a known thing that isn't solvable, but I can't see any bug reports on it and the effect does seem to work as intended with the default breeze decorations, so I wanted to at least post it here in case it isn't known.

Edit : I should add that CLOSING windows works fine, the window decorations disappear with the effect

Hi,

Describe the Bug

Since a few versions, Burn-My-Windows, for all animations, seems to draw the window without its border nor its entire content, but suddenly adds them at the end of the animation (this is at least how I have the impression it works), giving the impression that the window is trembling, thus ending to be unpleasant and non-fluid, even if there’s no real lagging as in a low-frame-rate animation. I do not know if it’s a change in Plasma/kWin behaviour or a Burn-My-Windows one, but it doesn’t seem to render this way with built-in KdePlasma animations. On some windows (probably depending on window type), the animation will even draw a transparent frame, and the window will be rendered after the end of the animation.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enable any Burn-My-Windows animation
2. Open or close any window containing text and images
3. Observe that the windows frame appears and sometimes some of its content (probably depending on the content type) in its flashy animation, BUT adds the window borders, window title and window content once the animation is done.
4. Feeling this awkward sensation that something is… wrong.

The output of the following command does not give anything.

journalctl -f -o cat | grep -E 'burn-my-windows|'

System

Please complete the following information:

• Operating system : Arch Linux x86_64
• Burn-My-Windows version : r909.9ff2762-1
• Desktop Environment : Plasma 5.26.4 with kwin as Window Manager
• CPU : Intel i5-10400 (12) @ 4.300GHz
• GPU : Intel CometLake-S GT2 [UHD Graphics 630]

Here is two videos showing the difference of both behaviour. The first video was recorded in early october, the last one today with the current version. old_version.webm new_version_buggy.webm

P.S. : Video is kind of laggy, but it’s only due the recording parameters and the compression on it. It is perfectly fluid on my 144Hz display.

Describe the Bug

Some applications starts "shaking" after they have started, especially Google Chrome. Firefox does not.

They cannot be interacted with. Closing the windows with SUPER + Q works and shows the effect.

Schneegans,

Is there any way to make all these effects work randomly instead of setting just one animation at a time in KDE? I really miss that feature from compiz. I know this is already possible in Gnome. You've already said it should be a feature of kwin but how difficult would it be to add randomizing anim option to the current burn-my-windows setting in kwin? Would there be any easier way of doing this by somehow importing/mimicking this code from Gnome and make it run randomly inside KDE? I'm sure adding this option will encourage kde users to wanna use BMW more.
