Zoom only one icon #97

I think it would be great to create an option that would allow to change default behaviour: instead of zooming multiple icons, zoom only one that is going to be opened

Hm, well, that would be a much simpler animation. I'll think about it.

I think you should implement this when animations are disabled completely to 0x. (#90). Would fit better in such scenario.

One important reason to not implement this, is just look at the pie launcher icon. You know what I mean 😉

  1. The logo is just a logo
  2. Disabling animations is not a solution
  3. This is an option

  4. argument Let's assume that red circle is a place where you hold a pie menu - you simply don't know what is selected argument In this scenario there's no more such a problem

  1. Logo can be changed too btw.
  2. Animation came into this argument because when you revolve through pie, you're expecting only one icon to pop up (enlarge). As you are doing this movement very fast, the best case scenario to highlight icon, is to enlarge it without any animation. If you expect animation to one icon enlargement, fast revolutions would simply don't render any animations at all, as you're gliding through them.
  3. Same issue as an option. Zooming into one icon is feasible only when there's no pop up animation & enlargement has to happen instantaneously.
  4. Typically the midsection won't be a problem caz vibration feedback assists us. And most of the users won't be having more than 8 shortcuts, which are like 8 directions. Once the muscle memory kicks in, it's difficult to mistakenly open neighbouring apps.
