Hi Nicolas, Thank you for your nice comment. Your idea sounds great. First, let me clarify some points. In Transition package, widgets themselves are not animated but their images are instead. During the transition, widgets are hidden below a canvas where their images are shown being animated so any event from user input will not be dispatched to the hidden widgets. So, in Transition package, an extra widget is needed to show the transition. Widgets are animated by changing their limited visual properties that one can reach directly like (visibility, position, size, colors). However, animating images gives more variety. So we can end up with two kinds of animation: widget animation and image animation.
So, what I see is that: - Animation package could be extended with image/pixel animation to animate a single image. - A transition package is still needed to carry out the logic of imaging widgets and transitioning.
