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.

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=0.8

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=0.7

zoom_initial_ratio: Initial zoom ratio
zoom_end_ratio: End zoom ratio

Durations

Control the speed of animations (in milliseconds).

Action	Setting	Default
Window Move	`animation_duration_move`	`500`
Window Open	`animation_duration_open`	`400`
Window Close	`animation_duration_close`	`800`
Tag Switch	`animation_duration_tag`	`350`
Focus Change	`animation_duration_focus`	`0`

# Example duration configuration
animation_duration_move=500
animation_duration_open=400
animation_duration_tag=350
animation_duration_close=800
animation_duration_focus=400

Custom Bezier Curves

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

The format is x1,y1,x2,y2.

Action	Setting	Default
Window Move	`animation_curve_move`	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`
Window Open	`animation_curve_open`	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`
Window Open Opacity	`animation_curve_opafadein`	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`
Window Close	`animation_curve_close`	`0.08,0.92,0,1`
Window Close Opacity	`animation_curve_opafadeout`	`0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5`
Tag switch	`animation_curve_tag`	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`
Focus Opacity Change	`animation_curve_focus`	`0.46,1.0,0.29,1`

# Example bezier curves
animation_curve_open=0.46,1.0,0.29,1.1
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

Tag Animation Direction

Control the direction of tag switch animations.

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