A couple of aesthetic suggestions

A couple of aesthetic suggestions

MylesShort 01 Dec 2011 07:31

Hey there, I love the dock and use it constantly, it fills me with so much nostalgia :]
I set up my desktop to be a combination of both, (youtube.com/watch?v=q3VXtXjc-SI < Here)
Now it's very close to perfect, but I was wondering about a few features and if they can be done.

Is it possible to have the dock animated so when the dock pops up, it sort of drops form the top like it does in the game?
(Reference: youtube.com/watch?v=HDb6T8gWDtY < Here around 0:04.)
The icons wouldn't have to line up at the top, i just think a drop down similar to that would be a great aesthetic.
Also in the video, there's sound, the sliding between icons is a lot more fluid and the icons "Jiggle" a little.
I vaguely heard that audio is a problem and I'm completely okay with there being none, but if there's any possibility i'd love the other features to make my desktop 100% rock :]

Hi,
Dropping the icon from the top might not be possible but I was thinking to have the rings grow from the center instead.
I would like to have the jiggle animation added but I don't really know how to do this but if I ever find out I will add it.

Though before adding those animation improvements, I prefer to give priority to functionality like adding a way to reorganise the rings order, so those aesthetic upgrades will be for later.
