Description

### Feature Description

You can see here how the workspace widget reacts to changing focus between two monitors. The icon is either "normal" or faded. The change between these states is too attention-grabbing in my opinion.

Research direction

The issue concerns the workspace widget's normal/faded icon transition when focus changes between monitors under Niri, but it names no file or test. Start by locating the workspace widget and its focus-change transition, then verify across two monitors that the animation is smoother and less attention-grabbing.
