Animated window minimizing,closing,opening

What do you think about having and optional animated window minimize, close and open for AmigaOS4 by default?

For example Windows open like a water balloon (quickly) and when you close them, they pop. There could be other options, but even having only one would be great for our cute OS.

I'd prefer to see a bit more point to the animation. For example, an animation that flows out from the icon/button/object that opened the window would help indicate the relationship between the two. Having a window shrink into its iconified icon would also be a visual cue to what's happening. These kind of animations have a function. Simply animating window opening and closing, on the other hand, would be only eye candy.

That's my recommendation, use animations for visual cues, not just to look pretty.

Yes, I agree.

@ancalimon

It reminds of the old program CaBoom

@Elwood

Yes I know. Unfortunately it never worked properly on my CVisionPPC. There were artifacts left on screen due to a bug it has. There was even the source code available with it but nobody fixed it.

@ancalimon

Don't know, if slows me down then now thanks.

The minimize animation in windoze7 aero does not slow anything down. After all it's hardware accelerated.
