** Description changed: Add 'launching' state to launcher icons Description: 1. As soon as a user clicks on a app in the Dash Application Lens, the Launcher should use the 'startup notification protocol' to *instantly* place a icon for the application in the launcher (in the 'launching' state). As soon as the app has finished launching, the Launcher icon should switch to the 'running' state. 2. As soon as a user clicks on a app in the Launcher that is not running, the Launcher icon should instantaneously switch to the 'launching' state. As soon as the app has finished launching, the Launcher icon should instantly switch to the 'running' state. The following art assets will be attached to this bug: 1. 'launching' placeholder Launcher icon. This is now signed off, see https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/11_04/desktop_and_netbook/launcher/unity_desktop_26_01_11_stages_fixed_10.png - + (note the outer glow shown in this same design is not the correct cursor + select state, for the correct cursor select state see + https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/11_04/desktop_and_netbook/launcher/select/ + ) Notes: - we flash the backlight of the icon three times during launch - as soon as we have startup notification, we create an item in the launcher, in grayscale, with a spinny icon, and start flashing its backlight - as soon as we know the desktop file and hence icon, we transition to the icon from the spinny, transition the backlight from grayscale to an appropriate colouring based on the icon - the flashing is uninterrupted by the transition, in other words, it will flash three times regardless, then get the running emblem We also need a nicer "showing up in the launcher" effect, for when the item is created. For example, how the launcher icons on either side slide away, and the new icon arrives (does it fade in? does it grow?). Finally, we need a little "flash" on click. So for an item that is started from the launcher, the full sequence is: flash on click (think the over-run flash on notify-osd when you raise the volume to the limit), followed by three backlight pulses, followed by the running emblem.
