Hi,

while the auto-hide animation on the primary taskbar is very fluent and smooth, it is very slow on Display Fusion's taskbars. I am currently running the Pro version 6.1.2 on Windows 8.1 64 Bit and I did not use that feature until now.

Is there a way to make the animation more fluent?

Here are both the debug log and a video capture of the slow animation..

I checked it with Process Explorer and both the CPU and the GPU aren't on full load.
Sometimes the animation is not only slow, it is also flickering a lot. So the whole display area where the taskbar is going to appear turns white for a few frames before the stuttering animation finishes.

The animation speed does not depend on the transparency settings in Display Fusion or StartIsBack+ but it depends on the number of items shown on them. When I enable the "All taskbars show all windows" mode the animation turns into a two frames slide-show.

Finally DisplayFusion Pro 7.2.0 Beta 3 has fixed this issue. The animation is now as fluent as the main taskbar's animation.
