[Enhancement] Better Hovering Dash Icons Animations #2247

Open TCMOREIRA opened 4 days ago

TCMOREIRA commented 4 days ago

There's another extension, called Dash2Dock Animated, which implements hovering over icons animations quite better. You should check what they're doing. Their animations are much more fluid and responsive.

The screenshot looks a little too much like macOS, and Apple is known to send cease and desist letters to anyone who copies them. So I don't think it would be a good idea. Unless that extension implements something cool that isn't in macOS?

Well, I doubt it would cause any problems, it's literally just "dash to dock" but with better animations. That's the only main difference. Try it for yourself and see what I mean.

It has caused problems in the past for other projects.

Those of us who are here in a professional capacity have an extra responsibility to protect our projects and employers from litigation.

Oh I didn't mean to discredit you! I understand that can happen. It might just be my ignorance, though, but, I felt that those animations were harmless to adopt as they're not so different than what we've seen already in the likes of many other popular Linux docks.

Indeed, I think small projects do get away with it. But it becomes more of a concern once you have a large user base like Ubuntu which depends on this project.
