Hello, my fellow Nebula developers, Looking at the awesome new editions from Laurent to the Nebula library (many thanks to Laurent for that) triggered a desire for a new SWT widget. ;-)
Did someone in this group already created a "FloatingText" widget? In such a widget the message hint in the text fields animates to the top of the input field as soon as the user gives focus to it. This is heavily used in Android. See https://www.androidhive.info/2015/09/android-material-design-floating-labels-for-edittext/ or an example video. IMHO it creates a very nice experience for users as it allows very condense UIs. Eclipse UIs could benefit quite a bit from that in my opinion. My current (lame) implementation is a compound composite wrapping a label and a text field and moving the content of the text field to the label once the user gives focus to the text field. I'm happy to share it, but it is really trivial and misses the animation. Did someone already created such a FloatingText" widget? If not would my trivial widget interesting for Nebula, maybe as a starting point for something more advanced? If yes, could you share your implementation?
