Also - one small nuisance - I seem to have lost my transition fade effects for the launcher as well.

Any thoughts, ideas - maybe someone who has this all working can share their transitions.ini file?

did you change radius and radius_more to more than 3?

Is there something obviously wrong in this transitions.ini? I just changed the new bits to try them out.

Code:

# This file contains timings and values for transitions in hildon-desktop
# duration = time in milliseconds
# zoom = amount to zoom out the background. 1 = none, 0.5 = zoom to half size
# radius = radius of blur (this is actually the number of blur iterations,
#          so the bigger the number the longer it takes)
# saturation = the amount of colour left in the background (0 = grey, 1 = normal)
# brightness = brightness of the background (0 = black, 1 = normal)

# -- zoom: how much to scale the switcher when going to launcher
#       (the second layer of the launcher would scale it twice
#        as much but the switcher is hidden by that time currently)
# -- zoom_for_home: how much to scale the switcher when leaving for home
# -- zoom_duration: the number of miliseconds to spend on zooming
#            a thumbnail
# -- fly_duration: how long should it take for the thumbnails to rearrange

# -- saturation: saturation of the background when blurred

# -- zoom: Basic amount to scale the home view by (gets multiplied by how many
