Possibility: Menu Transitions?

<< < (2/3) > >>

zwaldowski:
All valid points.  I was just looking for some room to bounce ideas.  I had similar reservations about it.

wesmo:
A lack of eye candy might actually turn away some new (non tech/audiophile) users - i.e. "rockbox has awesome features but looks crap compared to my default firmware."

I couldn't care less about fading menus in/out, but an setting that allows you to change layouts - similar to nokia series 40 phones (grid, menu, slide) would be nice.

How much ram/cpu time would be wasted? And how dramatic would the impact on batt life be?

nls:
it's impossible to say how much resources it would take up but would only use cpu time while the transition was in progress. IMHO this is useless eyecandy but I wouldn't oppose a clean, efficient implementation that didn't slow down navigation. However it would probably complicate the ui code a bit... (which is bad)

crash91:
IMO it shouldnt take up that much memory and CPU. Whats there to do? Take a dump of the current screen, save it in temp memory, then display that, and cut off whatever part you want (right part if right>left) and draw a bit of the menu on the side. Yes, it would complicate the ui code, and anyway, if pictureflow exsists, and could possibly be used in the future when songs are playing, why not this?

GodEater:
We await your patch to do this with interest.
