💫 AnimateTypes(7x) — the vibe guide 💫

okay bestie, so AnimateTypes is a page from the AfterStep X11 window manager's manual (section 7x, for the curious 👀), and it's literally just the glossary of animation modes you can pick from in the Animate module's config. That's it. That's the whole job. She's a short page and she's iconic for it ✨

Like, when your windows get iconified, they gotta go somewhere, right? And this is the list of ways they're allowed to make an exit 🎀

✨ CONFIGURATION OPTIONS ✨

Pick your fighter, bestie. Each one is a mode name you drop into the Animate module config:

  • Flip — when a window gets iconified, it turns over top to bottom while it's shrinking. A little somersault on the way out 🦋
  • Random — when a window gets iconified, it shrinks using a randomly selected animation type from Flip, Turn, Twist, Zoom, or Zoom3D. Surprise me, honestly 💅
  • Turn — when a window gets iconified, it revolves from left to right while it's shrinking. Slay, she's rotating 🔥
  • Twist — when a window gets iconified, it rotates counter-clockwise while it's shrinking. Spinny queen 👑
⚠️ okay so important: this Twist mode is not the same thing as the Animate configuration option AnimateTwist. Do not confuse them. They are two different girls with the same nickname, fr fr 😭
  • Zoom — windows will only shrink when iconified. No spin, no flip, no drama. Just... shrink. Minimalist behaviour, lowkey respected 🙈
  • Zoom3D — when a window gets iconified, it shrinks with a 3D tunnel-effect. Cinematic. Main character energy. ✨🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie, no cap 🫶 go forth and make your windows leave in style 💖

this lil doc came to you from the 3rd Berkeley Distribution, courtesy of AfterStep v.2.2.12, and it's filed under AnimateTypes(7x) — mwah, bye 🎀💜
