Description Andres Betts 2021-05-23 16:52:34 UTC

When selecting an application in the new application launcher, the launcher uses a right swipe animation before closing and opening the selected application.

Given that the slide animation conveys navigation within the menu, there should not be any sliding animation at a final action, clicking to open a new application. The reason is because it is a final action, there is no more navigation after this action.

This will make the action more clear to the user.

Don't slide when launching an app
