A GNOME Shell extension (also supporting KWin) that adds dramatic shader-based open/close animation effects to windows, such as burning, disintegration, and apparition. It is written in JavaScript/GJS with GLSL shaders and is distributed via extensions.gnome.org.
Use cases
- add fire effect when closing windows on GNOME
- customize window open and close animations in GNOME Shell
- get fancy shader effects for windows on Linux desktop
- make windows disintegrate with style
- add fun desktop effects to KWin
- replace boring default window animations with eye-catching ones
When to choose
- you use GNOME Shell 45+ (or the gnome-3.36-44 branch for older versions) and want playful window effects
- you want a popular, actively maintained extension with many effect options
- you want effects that work on both GNOME Shell and KWin
When to avoid
- you need productivity-focused, distraction-free desktop behavior
- you are on a desktop environment other than GNOME Shell or KWin
- you cannot tolerate occasional bugs from hacky shell modifications
