Thanks for the patch.

Maybe I should have tried the last Dolphin 1.x version before I made that remark or \
said "look at Dolphin 1.x before starting to work on this" :-( Sorry that I did not \
do it.

I tried it now, and it turns out that my memory was incorrect: the fading animation \
was not for hovering the toggle itself, but for the appearance of the toggle when \
hovering the corresponding item in the view. The code can be found at

http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-baseapps.git&a=blob&h=d602600c58754a3211056c2fc95d2c588 \
636c5a3&hb=35e3a9a44a32ccd46a138ee397de405318219803&f=dolphin%2Fsrc%2Fviews%2Fselectiontoggle.cpp


Now I don't really know which of the animations makes more sense, or if they make \
sense at all. I tried your patch, and it works fine, but the change of the selection \
toggle now looks quite subtle. Maybe it's too easy to miss that the toggle is hovered \
now? I really don't know.

Thinking about it again, maybe the animation that fades the selection toggle in when \
hovering the item probably does make some sense. The hover effect of the icon itself \
is animated after all, and now when I hover icons and I focus my attention on the \
toggle, it looks weird that it appears all of a sudden, whereas the effect of the \
icon itself is animated nicely.

But I'm not an expert for these design-related things. If anyone has good arguments \
for or against these animations, please let us know!
