Req - iChat 3.0 Collapse/Expand Group Animation

Post by MBHockey »

I don't know if it's just me, but i think the new collapsing/expanding group animation of iChat 3.0 is really cool.

Any chance this might find its way into Adium?

Are you talking about when you collapse a group and then the number shows up next to the group name?

No, I think hes talking about the animation that happens when you expand/collapse a group. I like that too... But didn't that happen in the previous iChat though?
the sky is going to crush you.

Yeah, that's what i mean Kirk..did it animate in iChat for Panther? I can't be sure...i never really used it once Adium got a file transfer GUI

Still, I'd love it..

Ohh, You mean how the contacts slide away under the group label like how OS X drawers move?

If this is what you mean, then I agree it would be a cool feature to add.

animation can be cool and all, but for all intense purposese is useless. while it may be cool, it takes a lot of time to implement and means people arent working on other features.

That's true. It is eye candy. I'd like to give this a shot once finals are over in two weeks, but i sincerely doubt i'll be able to do it, at all.

It doesn't hurt to ask ;)

Hey MBHockey, what's the little Airport looking status icon?...Is that perhaps the long desired mobile device icon?
