Possibility: Menu Transitions?

(1/3) > >>

zwaldowski:
I was going to post this as a feature request to Flyspray, but I'd like to pass it on the forum first for opinions.  Now, what do I ask?  Menu transitions, a la those on the iPod and the Sansa.  I feel that logical movement between menus and screens would be very beneficial to a user's understanding of RB.  By this, I mean for:

* Menus to submenus go from right to left (e.g., new one pushes old one out)
* Submenus to menus go from left to right (e.g., old one pushes new one out)
* Context menus go from bottom to top (e.g., context menu pushes WPS up)
* Returning to WPS/main menu hotkey goes from top to bottom (e.g., it overrides all)
What do you think?

safetydan:
This feature has been requested before and rejected.

Essentially it's just eye candy that's going to slow down navigation (because now you have to wait for the transition rather than have the menu instantly appear), and also cost RAM and CPU time because of the increase in code required to support fancy transitions. Both RAM and CPU time are precious and any changes in their use will have impacts on battery life.

Well, I really don't see the point in this... Correct me if I'm wrong, but this really doesn't have many benefits at all...

psycho_maniac:
You are correct. Just eye candy. I love the idea, but I would rather see it on my computer more than my dap.

cool_walking_:
I am against this.  As already said, this would slow down navigation.  Eye candy is nice to have sometimes, but it should never get in the way of functionality.
