From 3bc0796def5c1c1013bf3e11d7c94264ed330713 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Schneider Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 11:28:55 -0300 Subject: Afterglow (G14) is removed The user, looking at the lapis showcase: "one of the animations is like a flashing on the whole pane or something, that is really bad, just remove it". Every changed cell glowing meant a pane whose whole text changed (a file opened, a +Search refilled, a terminal's output) lit up at once: replacing a pane's text took its mean brightness from 38 to 70 and back over 250 ms. Gone like Ripple and Glitch: the builtin, the setting, its Chrome fx bit, the GUI's diff state and decor, the test, and the docs, which keep the user's words. --- docs/effects.md | 14 +++++--------- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs/effects.md') diff --git a/docs/effects.md b/docs/effects.md index a0edc2ab..894bd75d 100644 --- a/docs/effects.md +++ b/docs/effects.md @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ why.
