  • Transition when switching between workspaces using picom?
    2 projects | /r/i3wm | 10 Feb 2023
    Hello, everyone! I've been trying to set up Arian8j2's Picom fork, which has nice transition animations. Everything worked fine with opacity, rounded corners and the open-close windows transitions, but the problem is that no animation is triggered when switching workspaces, except for the fading, which comes by default from the original Picom. In the project's github page there's a gif showing the transitions, and you can see that the animations are triggered by switching workspaces. I am using these options for the transition config:
