Hi,

One of the things in Gnome3 that always looks a bit off to me is how the
system settings window will resize everytime you pick a particular setting;
it changes its size but it's sudden, without any kind of animation.

Whenever I see it I can't help but compare it to what OSX does: when a
window resizes without user intervention it has a smooth, pleasurable
animation. For example, this
video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af6GRiJCclk&feature=related>shows
the effect (sorry about not being able to find another video where
it's more apparent).

There are two issues I'd like to open for discussion:

- Are there plans to use this kind of animation when windows resize?
- Could it be used for modal
dialogues<https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/ModalDialogs>?
Given that Gnome3's modal dialogues prevent user interaction with the parent
window, wouldn't it be easier on the eyes to "turn" the parent window into
the model window through a similar animation, instead of just placing the
modal window on top?

Any opinions?
