Well, we never directly do that now, which is awesome. I don't remember them using opacity though :/

Re: XF, I'd just like to know if they've added any features that are fresh
That's the thing, I'm not sure what exactly is *new*, that we're not already thinking of doing (and/or doing better).

I don't buy too many games on Steam, mostly because I don't like most modern games, but I did snag Worms Reloaded recently, played it briefly, then went back to coding.

(I must be growing up, I find I don't want to play games too much!)

(BTW does SMF have this problem in IE6?)
No, since they never use opacity anyway, they find the colour of the background and manually alter the colour to fade to it. Which is fine, provided there isn't a patterned background, and for that matter that the colour was specified as a full #rrggbb hex triplet.

Note that it isn't just text that has this issue in IE, images do too, as I discovered a while ago (I assumed it was related to PNG transparency, where pixels that are alpha-transparent becomes either fully transparent or fully opaque)

I'm very conflicted with the "More options" animation in the post box.
It's fine. It only grated on me a touch last night but that's because I was working with debugging/rewriting the attachment selector code and had to refresh it many times. In normal use it's absolutely fine.


I never really noticed what XF did. That reminds me I should probably upgrade to the current beta and hand out links to folks to have a play around.

*nods* That's what I meant, I wanted to try out the others provided since they seemed like they would do the job I wanted, but as it turned out, I ditched it and used the linear ease-in.

There is only one reason I've ever even considered the jQuery UI Effects widget, and that's because for the one project I was doing recently, the standard easing didn't quite work for what I wanted and some of the less linear easings might have suited. As it happened, I realised that for the period of time involved, the easing changes didn't make that much difference.

I disagree on the 'no usability' part, I actually think it does add something of usability, since what you're doing is encouraging a given behaviour.

By applying a transition effect, there is feedback directly and immediately to the user that their action did something, and it's feedback that not only has active consequences - new UI to click on - but passive ones too: it shows them that immediately the computer is doing something about what they clicked on in a visual, visible way.

I've watched people be thoroughly observed when they see an expand button suddenly open something enormous that they weren't expecting, and it was a visible user surprise for them. Sort of like how some websites have the really huge menu on-popup, it has a visible jarring effect. A subtle animation, however, smooths the transition - at least that's my experience.

Point is, they didn't even mention it that way (even though the unlimited commercial licence seems to be $179)
