# Installation

For KDE Plasma < 5.15:
* Download the archive with the source code;
* Create folder for KWin effects:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kwin/effects
* Copy the package folder to the newly created folder:
cp -pr package ~/.local/share/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_minimizescale
* Because the effect won't be listed in the Desktop Effects KCM you have to
enable it by editing ~/.config/kwinrc:
- Open kwinrc with your favorite text editor;
- Add kwin4_effect_minimizescaleEnabled=true under [Plugins] section.
* Also, don't forget to disable the Minimize Animation and the Magic lamp effect.

* For KDE Plasma >= 5.15:
You can install this effect by clicking "Get New Effects..." in the Desktop Effects KCM.

It is a really nice effect. Good to see real desktop customizations being worked on KDE. It's a shame there's an extremely annoying issue: After rebooting your system, you must apply (over again) the effect on Desktop Effects, otherwise it will get buggy and fall back to standard Squash effect.

Although this is not the best way to solve this problem, I found that it can be solved by modifying the code. You can modify lines 50-51 in the ./.local/share/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_minimizescale/contents/code/main.js to make it work after reboot.

I love this effec but I noticed a small nug on Plasma 5.19 : the effect is not active until I go to its settings window and click "OK".

I get -Werror=deprecated-declarations on your kwin-effect-appear-1 animations. Could you fix it? I can't create a issue on github because it is on archived only mode.

I don't know how to report issues, but this effect does not read it's saved settings properly. After rebooting or switching between effects you have to readjust settings for his effect (they seem to be stored under "[No Group]" in kwinrc file).

Hmm, for some reason, I can't upload an archive with the source code. Every time I try to upload one, I get "Error: error,"

Because OpenDesktop's databases are broken and is full of bugs. I also am affected by it.
