Description Nathan Upchurch 2022-06-01 23:53:57 UTC
I use application dashboard because my main panel is on the left of my screen, and I can't find a launcher that I like that centers on the screen. I just thought it would be nice if the launcher faded-in when loaded, and there were transitions when hovering over app categories.

Fade out is feasible, but animating the hover highlight is not done intentionally, as this tends to make the UI feel slow and sluggish.

That makes sense. I should have specified; when I mentioned transitions when hovering over the categories, I meant for the application icons that appear when hovering over the category that contains them - maybe something like a fade in + translate down. Of course, I recognize that this also may not be feasible, and it would need to be able to be turned off in preferences for users who experience motion sickness from on-screen animation.
