Hi to all, thank to all for your feedback ... > I've seen a couple of applications use this, and I think a simple > "animations on/off" flag is sufficient. Ok, but i was thinking also at other features, like transparency on/off , etc ... so maybe using that level from near future could help to isolate this ...

I wouldn't like to complicate code, but are we able to query AWT for what type of operations are accelerated in hardware, and depending on it choose what to do on any effect, depending on the flag ? But the real question is if it's possible to do this not only in the Terra theme, but in a more general way in Pivot (ok, at least we could leave this the the Skin domain ...), putting some common stuff for this at a lower level (if not already there), and leave to the skin the last word (using or not these hints). @john: I am sorry that you chose the fork way. In the future I hope we can combine efforts to build both better products. In any case, best wishes and thanks for your suggestions. What do you think ? Bye, Sandro
