Combine Window Manager and File Manager with QtApplicationManager for smooth transitions?
https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/applicationmanager-applicationmanager-animated-windows-example.html
most Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) avoid making sudden, abrupt, changes as they can confuse the user and are not visually pleasant. So, when the WindowManager creates a new WindowObject, we want to animate its appearance instead of simply having it pop up on the screen. Likewise, once a WindowObject loses its surface - because the application closed this window or stopped altogether - and is removed from the WindowManager's model, we want to animate its disappearance instead of having it vanish immediately.
It looks like to make this really nice and smooth, we might have to combine the FIle Manager (which also renders the Desktop) and the Window Manager (and possibly the Dock?) into one application using QtApplicationManager?
For example, when we open an application, it would be nice if the applicattion icon would tranision into an application window with an "open" animation.
Has anyone done anything like this with QtApplicationManager before?
On the other hand, minimizing and maximizing windows to the Dock also can do an animation despite the two being separate applications.
We should find a way to achieve the same not just for the Dock but also for all windows opened by FIler.
Which should be even easier since it's all within one and the same application, no?
