animations

[absolutelynothelix]

since there are multiple open issues requesting animations i decided to group them into a single issue to have a more or less centralized discussion, ease the progress tracking and reduce the amount of open issues.

there is also a thread in the #development channel on the discord server to ease the communication between developers interested in implementing animations.

feel free to reserve one of the first posts in this issue if you're interested in structuring it even more.

thanks for pointing out. i copied it from the discord badge in the readme but it turned out that it wasn't updated when it was changed so i updated it both in the readme and here.

i would be happy to hear an update about picom animations 🫠

unfortunately, there are no updates.

Still want animation support.

Done.

Here is my public, actively maintained, on the AUR fork of pijulius picom.

Now on NixOS and Nixpkgs and I am always looking to add new features.
