Labelstype: feature
Describe the problem/motivation
When swapping between workspaces, there is a noticeable flicker/flash effect that is visible.
All in a fraction of a second, the following is visible on the screen:
- The window on my current workspace
- My desktop/wallpaper
- The window on the workspace I switched to
Describe the solution you'd like
Is it possible to cut out 2) from the sequence to prevent the flash/flicker?
Alternatives considered
I tried changing the 'hide_method' config setting.
