VSCode Animations #56021
Comments
I like how Atom has animated arrows to toggle the panel/sidebar visibility. |
Indeed, that too, ya see how this would be really cool in VSCode, I best stop drooling over this though :) |
Possibly related: #8073 |
To some extent it is, however that mainly focuses on the UI as a whole, whereas I mainly focus on animations and giving VSCode a more engaging experience, cool to know stuff like this was briefly mentioned back in the days before I started using VSCode (late 2017 anyone?) |
Yeah, I kind of want that issue to gain some traction and thought it was appropriate given how animation would rely on the current design. If there was some overhaul that changed the notification interface, for example, animation might be implemented differently. |
Casually Dreams of Animated VSCode |
Animated Dialogs too, some extensions (such as Monokai Pro) produce an alert to purchase a license. Would be cool to see its UI in VSCode Style (as Photoshop puts its Alerts in PS style) and animated |
@beastdestroyer please break these out into individual issues and be as specific as you can. Having a big generic issue makes it hard to prioritize and progress. |
Issue Type: Feature Request
I have not been able to find any closed or current issue that is relevant/is my issue
When I was comparing Atom to VSCode recently, i found that Atom had an interesting UX which made it feel more smooth and involved with the user, at least personally. For example, they had animated hover icons and a bunch of other stuff. It was small but it was definitely somewhere VSCode could capitalize and improve on, especially considering the amount of icons, buttons/hyperlinks and menus VSCode has. I would like to demonstrate some of these aspects:
Hover Icons
Menus! This one is a big advancement should it be implemented. In fact, the new Settings editor actually has some
Panels/Sidebar etc.
Native VSCode icons
That's basically it, also a thing I'd like to point out:
Animations as such can have a performance impact, since stuff has to be consistently rendered, even if it's small and can have little impact, such as icons, large menus can, so if this were to be implemented, probably have an option to enable animations, maybe even select which ones to be animated for finer tuning.
Feel free to share your ideas if you want to, thanks!
