Hi Everyone,
thanks a lot for contributing to this post. It really changed my Raspberry Pi 4 from an unusable mess to something nice.
I normally wouldn't want most of these effects even on a powerful machine.... let alone on a Raspberry Pi.
On top of your suggestions I also changed the opacity of the fast-switcher.xml from 0.7 to 1.
Now when alt tabbing with the fast-switcher everything looks allright. I still believe there is one animation left to disable as when I alt-tab the "colour" of the window decoration takes a little bit of time to change. I will keep looking to see if I can also disable that.
Just one little thing, do you know how to show a grid with all the open windows with some latency during the alt tab?
Basically the current alt-tab behaviour is perfectly fine and it works. So when I quickly alt-tab no BS is happening to the windows. However if I press alt-tab and then do not release the alt key, it would be nice to have a grid with all the windows appear that highlights the current window and shows the other windows in reverse chronological order (eg current window in top-left, then next to it the last used one, then the last last used one,... and so on).
Of course all of this with no transparency, no animations, no effects.
EDIT:
I realised that there are still 2 "improvements" that can be made but don't know what to touch:
1) disabling content update while dragging a window: so that when I grab a window only the border is updated until i release the border
2) magnetic borders of snapped windows: I called it like this because I don't know the real name. Basically if one or more windows are snapped with each other and to the border of the screen, resizing the internal border of one window should also adapt the adiacent windows accordingly. Of course without updating the content of the windows until I release the mouse button so it doesn't lag on a Raspberry Pi.
