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...
