first off:
a dynamic UI is /not/ related to the use of animations, animated transitions
;-)
For the rest:
- KDE 4.4 /will/ require Qt 4.6 (don't ask, not my decision, won't argue ;-)
- animations can be done w/o 4.6 (it's just easier/more convenient)
- animations for the sake of animating is in fact a bad idea, to smooth out
transitions it is not.
Though one has to be VERY carefull esp. with sliding animations, a quick slide
-even across just two frames- is far less irritating than a "BWUAAA" popup ;-)
As humans need a (very short, though pretty long in a CPU scope) moment to
adjust to the new condition it's also not blocking you.
And if anyone fears about my personal ambitions:
I do not like the slide back desktop effect.
I like and appreciate the idea, but i find even that too much distressing.
Noticed that Bespin does /not/ hover lineedits? That's intentional.
Hope that convinces everyone that i'm not interested or after any <blink/>
