Re: [nebula-dev] SWT Transition Widget - STW proposal

Hi Ahmahran, 

I just want to say that your transition effects are great, especially the 3D cubic one. 

We have an animation package in nebula, currently in Gallery but will move in CWT (common code for Nebula widgets) eventually. This package implements several movements ( linear, elastic, expo, bounce)  and effects (move, resize, fade, set color, shake, crossfade images) which can be applied on widgets. If I understand your work correctly, it is able to transition between 2 widgets or tabs. This is totally cool and does not exist in our animation package.

Since we already have some animation/transition code and since your code is not a widget, it may be a good idea to add your code to the animation package instead of creating a new project. This way we could add support for different movements in Transition and  provide new effects based on your transitions.

We probably need an official creation for CWT (it is already on CVS) for this and I don't think it has been done already.  

In all cases (new project or not), you will have to get your code reviewed and to become a Nebula committer. 

What would you think of this ? (This question goes for all Nebula committers too :-) )
