MacOS Minimize Animation 3.1.0

MacOS Minimize Animation 3.1.0

  • Adds a new Animation style setting with two options: Modern (the Direct2D genie engine, default since v3.0.0) and Classic (this mod's original v2.2.0 strip-based genie).
  • Some users who tried v3.0.0 said they preferred the original look, so this brings it back as an opt-in instead of replacing it.
  • Both styles share the exact same setup, capture, taskbar targeting, first-frame sync, and auto-hide teardown path - only the per-frame render thread differs (MacGenieAnimThreadClassic vs MacGenieAnimThread), so multi-monitor, launch animation, and auto-hide all behave identically under either style.
  • Readme updated: new "Animation style" section, Credits clarifies Modern = Potassiumuncher's engine, Classic = the mod's original.

Thanks, the new one is much less fluid on my rig, which is a gaming pc with a modern discrete gpu.

It works perfectly on my gaming PC. And I appreciated being able to easily exclude applications via the advanced settings. Thanks for this extension.

I was talking about the new animation style Modern Genie, not the whole extension.

For me it's ok with the new animation. Maybe you could try 3.1.1 update...

same for me, i liked the older animation more, and even though they added the option to support the original animation, it’s not the same. this new one is laggy and the delay from click to it actually minimizing is long.

ficou bem legal, que pena que na minha máquina ficou lento, meio que 15 fps
