Granite

animations/effects in granite

Registered by tim schoen

it would be great if we could add animations like slide, zoom etc to granite. also, we can take our time once to make them very smooth, because if you compare the animations used in slingshot with the ones from iOS, the ones from slingshot look like shit.

Then you could add animations like this
var my_widget = new Widget();
var animated_widget = new Granite.AnimatedWidget(my_widget);
animated_widget.animate(Granite.Effects effect, int Duration);

I think that it would be done by extending from GtkClutter.Embed, creating a new widget called AnimatedWidget, AnimatedContainer or something like that.
For example:
var my_widget = new Widget();
var animated_widget = new Granite.AnimatedWidget(my_widget);
animated_widget.animate(Granite.Effects effect); //where granite effects are elementary standard animations. I think a standard animation set is a good idea.
