434378 - The window colors should be normal while restoring from the Dock

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

While restoring a Firefox window that was previously minimized to the dock, it uses the washed-out color scheme during the restoring (the geenie effect) and only gets "darker" after fully restored.

Other apps have the active color scheme during the geenie effect.

Markus, when is the active state set? After the restoration of the applications window is finished?

The active state is set when the window becomes main - and that doesn't happen until it's fully restored. I don't think we can do anything here, sorry.

So how the other applications are doing that, e.g. Skype. When you restore such an application it is always active when the animation starts. So is this issue on our side?

I don't really know. "True native" Cocoa applications like Skype or Camino just let Cocoa do everything (bug 292351 comment 3: "This is just a button in Interface Builder."), so they don't have to worry about it.

In bug 303110 comment 39, Colin Barrett names two applications that use the same (hacky) technique that we use; I've tested VoodooPad and it doesn't have the problem. However, these apps aren't open source, so I can't see how they're doing it.

By the way, how does Finder on 10.5 behave?

It also restores a minimized window in active state.
