How could I have a workspace sliding animation in i3 on ArchLinux ?
I don't want to use a full DE, I'm right now using compton as a compositor but it only offers fade in/out when switching workspaces, I can't make it perform a sliding animation such as the one in KDE or Gnome.
I don't mind installing another compositor but I'd like to be able to do it with compton and i3 if it's possible. (I don't mind neither having to use a more low level api and code the animation myself, but I don't know where to start)
----------
The second step would be to have a workspace switching like on MacOs (Or now also on Windows 10) where you drag your fingers on the trackpad and it switches between workspaces smoothly : if you stop draging the workspace will just pop back in place. (I'm talking about this ) That would be really cool to setup on a Linux system. I'm using Libinput (and libinput gestures) but I don't know if there is such a feature.
----------
How could I get the closest to the MacOs/Windows10 workspace switching experience with i3 on ArchLinux ?
