4 New Effects Added to ‘Burn My Windows’ GNOME Extension

A set of four cool new window opening and closing animations got added to gaudy GNOME Shell extension Burn My Windows this weekend. A veritable Linux eye-candy essential, Burn My Windows makes it easy to apply a variety of visual effects to Ubuntu when opening and/or closing app windows, dialogs, and modals. Its sole purpose is to make using Linux a bit more entertaining. Burn My Windows v45 is the latest update. It adds support for the upcoming GNOME 48 release (which will ship in Ubuntu 25.04 this April), fine-tunes effect filtering in Preferences, and improves its Incinerate effect with :sys_more_orange:

Burn My Windows Adds Dreamy New ‘Focus’ Effect

It’s been a while since the gorgeous (if admittedly gimmicky) Burn My Windows GNOME Shell extension gained a new effect for over-the-top window closing and opening animation. But the latest release, Burn My Windows v44, delivers one. The new Focus effect is a relatively subtle one using a blur and fade effect on close, as you can see in this GIF, and on open too (you can choose to turn open animations off): There are options to control the animation time, the blur amount, and the blur quality. The lower the blur quality the faster the overall effect will be, :sys_more_orange:

There’s Now a Rick & Morty Window Closing Effect for Linux

A portal effect inspired by the terrifically over-the-top cartoon Ricky & Morty is the latest addition to the terrifically-over-the-top Burn My Windows extension. As with other animations available through this add-on, you can assign the new portal effect to play when closing app windows and/or opening windows too: You can also apply this (and any of the 17 other effects) to play when closing modal dialogs too. While a few of Burn My Windows’ animations are limited to more recent versions of GNOME Shell, the Rick & Morty portal effect supports GNOME 3.36 and above. This means the effect is :sys_more_orange:
