Oni: cursor animation

[allyraza]

hi,

I have been using neovim with iterm2 for sometime, recently found oni and really like oni's interface.

I would like to ask if you could please remove the cursor animation or add a config param to turn it off, when the cursor blinks it blurs and looks really weird.

I am using windows 8.1 and running latest build of oni installer.

cheers

Have you tried adding "ui.animations.enabled": false to your config.js?

There was also a bug with the animations I think that was fixed in #946, so this might be fixed in the next release.

[allyraza]

that works I think I can close this

I am sorry about this I think it partially fixes the problem

@allyraza Can you tell us why it's a partial and not a full fix?

There was actually a bug where we weren't fully disabling the animation, that was fixed in #946 (it's in master, but not in a released build). It might be worth trying that build with ui.animations.enabled false.

When animations are on, we set a scale transform on the cursor background, it's possible there are some aliasing issues - the fix in #946 should address that.

We also render the 'cursor character' differently - it's in the DOM, versus the canvas, which has a separate font render path - so it is possible that in itself is causing issues.

@allyraza , if you're up for trying out the latest master with ui.animations.enabled set to false, and can check and see if you're still seeing issues with blurry characters, that would be great!

Will close this out since there is no activity here. Feel free to open a new issue if you're still seeing blurry characters.
