Hi there,
I've added some animations to the routines functionalities in my branch and I'm just looking for your opinions about this. A demo video is available on my site [1]. Please let me know if you think that it's too much eye-candy or if you think that it's OK. I didn't check this into my repo yet and I'm keeping the code in my git-stash.
Personally, I don't like the table jumping up and down. Moving objects attract attention, especially if a large part of the screen moves, and in this case it looks like an effect done because it can be done. Space above Routines table should expand / contract to proper height in one move - it it needs two, then the effect stops looking nice, it becomes annoying.
If it can't be done, it would look nice with old content replaced by new with 0 opacity and using fade in to show it.
(Note - I can be prejudiced, I hate collapsible options in PMA because the animation used there is just wrong imo)
