Kai, I'll start porting the Onyx code (the project behind the last video) to SWT. It'll most probably take me a couple of weeks to do so - but in the meantime i am more than happy to open the discussion on the existing Trident SWT examples.
Is there anything specific that is expected from the animation side of things in e4? * Animating simple properties on SWT widgets - such as background / foreground * Animating widget positions - extending the existing layout managers to support that * Animating widget appearance / disappearance - with fade in / fade out / cross fade effects * Animating window appearance / disappearance * Animating popup appearance / disappearance - including menus, combobox popups, tooltips * Kinetic effects on user interaction - iPhone-like list scrolling for example Thanks Kirill ________________________________ From: "Toedter, Kai" <[email protected]> To: E4 Project developer mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 11:29:32 PM Subject: RE: [e4-dev] e4 release review slides Kirill, I have been following both the SceneGraph and your Trident activities in the last months. I would love to see your (swing) demo running in an SWT environment and discuss in this list how Trident might fit into e4.

Juli 2009 23:03 To: E4 Project developer mailing list Subject: Re: [e4-dev] e4 release review slides Hi I have a question about slide 4 - about deferring the advanced animations in SWT. I've been following this list for a few months, and i haven't seen any (significant) discussion on this topic. I've recently released the first official version of Trident animation library which has built in support for both Swing and SWT - including automatic support for threading rules and additional UI toolkit-specific features. The overview of support for UI toolkits is at [1], and examples for SWT can be found at [2]-[4]. Is this something that would be of interest to the e4 project? The core Trident capabilities can be used to built more complex animations such as layout transitions, window fades, cross fades etc - as shown in the demo Swing application at [5]. And while the demo is in Swing, i am going to port it to SWT as well in the next few weeks.
