Changelog of the Burn-My-Windows Extension

Burn My Window 5

Release Date: TBD

Sadly, it does not seem to be enough. WINDOW_REPOSITIONING_DELAY is set to 750ms per default; setting the window-close animation time to 500ms does not solve the issue.

It's quite difficult to trace the code flow for me. One difference seems to be that Workspace._doRemoveWindow is called after the clone is destroyed on GNOME 3.38 and beyond but not on GNOME 3.36.

New Features

• Added a new ridiculous close-animation: the T-Rex-Attack!
• Added a new simple close-animation: the TV-Effect!

Other Enhancements

• The fire shader now uses a smoothstep to make it less blocky.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug which messed up the overview of GNOME Shell 3.36. Sadly, the only viable "fix" was to disable window-close animations in the overview of GNOME Shell 3.36 entirely.

Burn My Window 4

Release Date: 2021-12-25

New Features

• Added a new Matrix shader which dissolves your windows in a shower of green letters. You can switch between the fire and the matrix shader in the settings. Sadly, this effect cannot be available under GNOME 3.3x as it was apparently impossible to set textures for a Clutter.ShaderEffect in GJS back then.
• Added a setting to apply the animation also for closing dialog windows.

Other Enhancements

• Refactored the code a lot to make it easier to add new shader effects in the future.
• Tweaked timing of the fire shader. Previously, the fire became invisible quite quickly. Due to this new animation timing, the default animation time has been reduced to 1500 ms.

Burn My Window 3

Release Date: 2021-12-20

New Features

• Add support for GNOME 3.36 and GNOME 3.38.

Burn My Window 2

New Features

• Added the possibility to adjust fire colors.
• Added the possibility to adjust flame speed and scale.
• Added some fire presets.

Burn My Window 1

Release Date: 2021-12-14

• Initial publication on GitHub supporting GNOME 40 and GNOME 41.
