In KDE, the Desktop Cube is back
For those on Linux (on GNOME and KDE, at least), experimentation is still alive and well in https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows#readme.

So recently i found this unholy feature in KDE's desktop...

On the Importance of Continuous Integration Tests...
This is the first time, one of my extensions (Burn-My-Windows) broke on a new version of GNOME Shell for plenty of users and I failed to notice this in advance. And the breaking changes in GNOME Shell and Mutter were pushed more than five months ago!

Found this by accident while messing around with a config file on windows, does KDE Plasma have an animation like this for moving windows? if yes then I'll probably consider dual booting Linux because this would honestly look really neat.
I don't think that is currently possible, or at least I'm not aware of any option to make it behave like so. I guess you can ask on the project's discussion page about it.

Burn-My-Windows received a massive update!
The update is available for all GNOME versions since 3.36, including GNOME 44! Read the full changelog here.

I created a series of window-themed wallpapers for one of my FOSS projects
I am developing extensions for Linux which add fancy animations for opening and closing application windows. A couple of days ago, I decided to create matching wallpapers for show-casing the effects! First time using Midjourney, but I am very pleased with the results.

Burn-My-Windows now includes a new Glitch effect!
Btw, I've written a tutorial for creating BMW effects: https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/blob/main/docs/how-to-create-new-effects.md
-
Burn-My-Windows 23 adds the most ridiculous window animation yet!
However, for some reason, I cannot upload the new effect to the KDE store currently. Until this is fixed, you can download the KDE version of the new effect from Github (https://github.com/Schneegans/Burn-My-Windows/releases/tag/v23)

Desktop Cube hits 100k downloads!
I think many people know this. Also, the very first sentence in the extension's README says that it's inspired by Compiz.
-
Desktop Cube now supports GNOME 44!
There's a very weird long-standing issue on that. It does happen only on specific hardware/driver setups and only on X11: https://github.com/Schneegans/Desktop-Cube/issues/3
