Alan, instead of a patch can you create a merge request to the compiz plugins package itself? May you can ask Daniel van Vugt and San Spilsbury to take a look at the three bug reports. I guess they are currently busy with other critical bug reports lately. Nekhelesh On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 12:04

Hi Ryan, thanks a lot for bringing this up. I agree that animations in many cases could be smoother, is not just a matter of frame rate but at first of easing (and consequentially of duration). We are currently looking into that keeping as priority consistency. Best, chr On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at

a lower frame rate could cause some choppy looking animations. slowing it down would always make it look smoother. if you slow it down you cause the animation to have more frames inserted between the normal ones. unless you get those extra frames of animation in the normal time frame it's always go

In the newest version of Unity that was uploaded to the servers yesterday, the icon flying animation from Ubuntu Software Centre is too fast also. Webupd8 also thinks that animation is overly fast. If the user blinks, the animation has already finished. Just my two cents. Thanks, and enjoy the w

I tend to agree in part. The animations are overly fast in my opinion and don't look too good because of it, especially when compared to the likes of KDE with it's buttery animations. If animations are going to be so fast they look choppy then doesn't it make them pointless in the first place? I

I'm not seeing that at all. It's perfectly smooth here. They're faster, which I guess could make it seem like we're trying to hide choppiness, but if you slow them down, you'll see it's perfectly smooth. I'm against slowing down the animation. It's perfectly smooth as it is, and slowing it down co
