Hi everyone,

Here at Realtime Solutions we heavily use qooxdoo Desktop for our webapp and it is wonderful in terms of programming. UI and UX wise it does leave something to be desired, but I have seen work on that, so that is happening.

Right now we're starting to use animations to help the user keep track of the behaviour of the app (mental mapping), but I keep falling back to simply using .hide() and .show(). The main reason for this is that i would like to use collapsing animations to gradually (speeds of 0.2 seconds) show widgets by collapsing and opening them. In native css transitions you would use maxHeight and maxWidth for this, which effects would be directly communicated the rest of the layout, but I know qooxdoo does layouting internally with javascript.

The question is, how do I let the rest of the layout know that widget layout properties have been updated and that it needs to respond accordingly?

Or should I take a different approach alltogether?

kind regards,
