[preview] AveDesk 1.3 Special Preview Part 2

Removing desklets is boring: right-click, select remove-desklet and a simple fade-out. It would be a lot more fun if something cool happened....

Presenting the sucky-effect. When you remove a desklet, it now actually will be "sucked" away.

Static images can't tell the story, so here is a preview movie (*) :

All credits for this effect go to Menge, the brilliant Orbit coder!

(*) this movie is only for showing the 'sucky-effect', it's not done yet. So, don't ask about a (X)/close button

PS. Better names are welcome

Pretty cool effect man

#299982

Awesome! It's funny, i was actually listening to Muse when I watched that lol.

#299986

its freaking genius;)

#299987

looks nice, but it seems a little slow. im sure a setting would be involved so one could set the speed at which it.. uh.. "sucks" ?

#299993

whoa... that's a cool one mate!!

How about calling it "The Sucker FX".. lol.. kidding !!

#299995

can't wait for AveDesk 1.3

BJ Effect gets my vote!

Oh wait, i forgot to look supprised

#300108

Hehe... this looks really cool.

I'm guessing that there will be an option to disable it though...right? I can see how the little "X" might be annoying on some desklets.

Keep up the good work as always!

#300114

awesome man....you never cease to amaze!

#300116

Looks sweet! How about AveVacuum?

I allready find your 'flip to settings on the back of desklets' from a earlier preview marvelous,

but this rules even more. It's better with the closing button imo, because it gives the user a better orientation/anchor for were to click to get the intented result.

(I wouldn't want to accidentially remove a desklet, because I clicked the invisible remove button).

Btw: this is all very Tiger/dashboard-ish, wouldn't Apple object?

Just wondering, because the last thing we would want is a cease-and-desist from them against AveDesk.

You can't patent visual effects for software, at least not in Europe.
