Enabling Animations

MangoWC supports animations for both standard windows and layer shell surfaces (like bars and notifications).

animations=1
layer_animations=1

Animation Types

You can define different animation styles for opening and closing windows and layer surfaces.

Available Types: slide, zoom, fade, none.

animation_type_open=zoom
animation_type_close=slide
layer_animation_type_open=slide
layer_animation_type_close=slide

Fade Settings

Control the fade-in and fade-out effects for animations.

animation_fade_in=1
animation_fade_out=1
fadein_begin_opacity=0.5
fadeout_begin_opacity=0.5

animation_fade_in: Enable fade-in effect (0-disable, 1-enable)
animation_fade_out: Enable fade-out effect (0-disable, 1-enable)
fadein_begin_opacity: Starting opacity for fade-in animations (0.0-1.0)
fadeout_begin_opacity: Starting opacity for fade-out animations (0.0-1.0)

Zoom Settings

Adjust the zoom ratios for zoom animations.

zoom_initial_ratio=0.3
zoom_end_ratio=0.8

zoom_initial_ratio: Initial zoom ratio
zoom_end_ratio: End zoom ratio

Durations

Control the speed of animations (in milliseconds).

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`animation_duration_move`	integer	500	Move animation duration (ms)
`animation_duration_open`	integer	400	Open animation duration (ms)
`animation_duration_tag`	integer	300	Tag animation duration (ms)
`animation_duration_close`	integer	300	Close animation duration (ms)
`animation_duration_focus`	integer	0	Focus change (opacity transition) animation duration (ms)

# Example duration configuration
animation_duration_move=500
animation_duration_open=400
animation_duration_tag=300
animation_duration_close=300
animation_duration_focus=0

Custom Bezier Curves

Bezier curves determine the "feel" of animation (e.g., linear vs. bouncy).

The format is x1,y1,x2,y2.

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`animation_curve_open`	string	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`	Open animation bezier curve
`animation_curve_move`	string	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`	Move animation bezier curve
`animation_curve_tag`	string	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`	Tag animation bezier curve
`animation_curve_close`	string	`0.08,0.92,0,1`	Close animation bezier curve
`animation_curve_focus`	string	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`	Focus change (opacity transition) animation bezier curve
`animation_curve_opafadein`	string	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`	Open opacity animation bezier curve
`animation_curve_opafadeout`	string	`0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5`	Close opacity animation bezier curve

# Example bezier curves
animation_curve_open=0.46,1.0,0.29,1
animation_curve_move=0.46,1.0,0.29,1
animation_curve_tag=0.46,1.0,0.29,1
animation_curve_close=0.08,0.92,0,1
animation_curve_focus=0.46,1.0,0.29,1
animation_curve_opafadein=0.46,1.0,0.29,1
animation_curve_opafadeout=0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5

Tag Animation Direction

Control the direction of tag switch animations.

Setting	Default	Description
`tag_animation_direction`	`1`	Tag animation direction (1-horizontal, 0-vertical)
