Autohide animation does not work on wayland

[stefonarch]

Stumbled upon this by reading labwc/labwc#2129

Expected Behavior

There is an animation

Current Behavior

Panel appears and disappears

Possible Solution

Probably hard. Greying out the option if on wayland?

• LXQt Version: 2.0, git

If we continue to do that with options that don't work on Wayland, we might lose track and forget to enable them when a solution is made possible.

Right :)

Btw dropdown terminal has the same issue, I remember it had an animation under X11.

No, it doesn't have animation. Some WMs (like KWin) can animate windows under specific circumstances. For example, I'd added a nice slide-in/out animation to LXQt notifications under LXQt+kwin_x11.

@tsujan @stefonarch Since it's a layer-shell-surface, normal animations may not work. What you need to animate (at least in the panel) is the layer-surface's margin. Of course, we can play with the height as well.

This isn't a priority, IMHO, although it should have been reported.
