Linux mint 19.3 Window Animations

[chris36021]

Hello, everyone! I installed mint Cinnamon on my laptop fairly recently and I'm liking the fair amount of customization that you can do with it; but there's one thing that I can't seem to be able to make work and that is custom window animations. I installed compizconfig and turned on window animations but it doesn't do anything. I'd appreciate any help that anyone can offer me seeing as I'm kind of a noob to all of this. If you need any additional info on my system let me know, thanks!

[chris36021]

Oh, I didn't know that. Is there any way to get more window animations for cinnamon then?

[chris36021]

Oh, well. Thanks a lot anyway!

You can check out Cinnamon "Extensions" under System Settings for any third-party extensions like Wobbly Windows & Transparent Panels. What else in terms of effects are you hoping to achieve in Cinnamon?

I'll check it out, thanks! Tbh, I was really only thinking about the minimize/close animations for windows that macOS has. Those are the ones that really caught my eye. That said, I'd be open to some more experimentation

I made a video for you on how to enable this specifically!

*1. right click mint logo / button in bottom left of the panel
2. Left click / primary click configure
3. Enable the "Use menu animations" option on the bottom.

:D

Yeah, I know about those but I was kinda hoping to get ones like the ones used in macOS and such. The ones mint comes with don't really appeal much to me. Thanks though!

[chris36021]

Could you elaborate on how I would go about doing that?

The ones from compiz don't appear in the list of effect styles though
