changing slide side animation	2024-06-16	Ciflire

Summary

This RFC aims to agree on a rule for forced side option of the slide animation style

Motivation

The way the animation slide is used feels inconsistent in two ways at the moment i'm writing this:

• First, it describes a side that can be the side by which the animation starts as well as its end. For example the keyword bottom used for animation windowsIn will move the window from the bottom to the desired position and for the animation windowsOut the window will be slided to the bottom of the screen
• Secondly, following that logic, the keyword bottom would be used to make the window pop from the bottom and close sliding to the bottom. The same keyword is then used for two different visual results. This RFC will allow to write the documentation as clear as possible without having to detail each case, or by try and fail by the user

Detailed design

The new design for the forced side

Examples and Interactions

The previous configuration would be rewritten into

animation=windowsIn, 1,2,windowIn, slide top
animation=windowsOut,1,2,windowOut, slide bottom

Where top and bottom give the direction of the window when going in or out.

Drawbacks

People would have to change this in their entire config, could also be counterintuitive to other people just as the way it is designed today is counterintuitive to me Having to change the actual implementation

Alternatives

Keeping the way it is

Prior art

This is already impleted

Unresolved questions

Still no community feedback so I use this dedicated space to have some

Future work

Feel free to criticize it, sorry for my English as well i'm not native, also first time doing an RFC
