# Table of contents {{< toc >}} # General Animations are declared with the `animation` keyword. ```ini animation=NAME,ONOFF,SPEED,CURVE,STYLE or animation=NAME,ONOFF,SPEED,CURVE ``` `ONOFF` can be either 0 or 1, 0 to disable, 1 to enable. `SPEED` is the amount of ds (1ds = 100ms) the animation will take `CURVE` is the bezier curve name, see [curves](#curves). `STYLE` (optional) is the animation style The animations are a tree. If an animation is unset, it will inherit its parent's values. See [the animation tree](#animation-tree). ## Examples ```ini animation=workspaces,1,8,default animation=windows,1,10,myepiccurve,slide ``` ## Animation tree ```txt global ↳ windows - styles: slide, popin ↳ windowsIn - window open ↳ windowsOut - window close ↳ windowsMove - everything in between, moving, dragging, resizing. ↳ fade ↳ fadeIn - fade in (open) -> layers and windows ↳ fadeOut - fade out (close) -> layers and windows ↳ fadeSwitch - fade on changing activewindow and its opacity ↳ fadeShadow - fade on changing activewindow for shadows ↳ fadeDim - the easing of the dimming of inactive windows ↳ border - for animating the border's color switch speed ↳ borderangle - for animating the border's gradient angle - styles: once (default), loop ↳ workspaces - styles: slide, slidevert, fade, slidefade, slidefadevert ↳ specialWorkspace - styles: same as workspaces ``` # Curves Defining your own Bezier curve can be done with the `bezier` keyword: ```ini bezier=NAME,X0,Y0,X1,Y1 ``` where `NAME` is the name, and the rest are two points for the Cubic Bezier. A good website to design your bezier can be found [here, on cssportal.com](https://www.cssportal.com/css-cubic-bezier-generator/), but if you want to instead choose from a list of beziers, you can check out [easings.net](https://easings.net). ## Example ```ini bezier=overshot,0.05,0.9,0.1,1.1 ``` # Extras For animation style `popin` in `windows`, you can specify a minimum percentage to start from. For example, the following will make the animation 80% -> 100% of the size: ```ini animation=windows,1,8,default,popin 80% ``` For animation styles `slidefade` and `slidefadevert` in `workspaces`, you can specify a movement percentage. For example, the following will make windows move 20% of the screen width: ```ini animation=workspaces,1,8,default,slidefade 20% ```
