Animate(1x)

💖 Animate — it's giving window-animation realness ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Animate, a manual page from the AfterStep X11 window manager era 🫶. Yes, we're in section 1x, and yes, this lil module is the one that makes windows do a whole lil dance when they get iconified or deiconified. main character behavior, honestly 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

Animate — an AfterStep module that animates windows while they're being iconified or deiconified 💅✨

---

✨ CONFIGURATION OPTIONS ✨

okay here's the whole menu, no gatekeeping, we're listing every single one 🔥

• AnimateColor color — tells Animate what color to draw the window outline with while it animates. go peep rgb.txt if you need the color names, iykyk 🌈
• AnimateDelay milliseconds — tells Animate how many milliseconds to sleep between frames of the animation. basically the nap time between each lil frame 😴
• AnimateIterations steps — tells Animate how many steps to break the animation into. more steps = more lil slices of motion 🧚
• AnimateResize mode — tells Animate what method to use to draw resizes. the six methods currently supported are: Zoom, Zoom3D, Twist, Flip, Turn and Random 👑

⚠️ note bestie: that mode Twist should not be confused with the Animate configuration option AnimateTwist. two different things, do not mix them up, i'm begging 😭

See Also: AnimateResize modes for further details 💜

• AnimateTwist revolutions — tells Animate how many revolutions to twist the iconification frame. spin spin spin 🌀

⚠️ and again: the configuration option AnimateTwist should not be confused with the AnimateResize mode Twist. yes this is the reverse of the other warning, yes they're both real, no i'm not playing 🙈

• AnimateWidth pixels — tells Animate how wide of a line to draw for the shrinking animated window border 💫

🍓 heads up: width 0 produces a fast line at Width 1. so like, zero isn't "no line", it's "speedrun the line". periodt.
