Win 7 Animations..

we'll never see on real Desktop 

it's an awesome video from UXEvangelist http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5hBIDS7J4U

but maybe the scroll down animation in shellstyle might be possible?

(like RajTheeban found the animation, maybe only another animation description needed ?)

Hi sunbeam,
Interesting,
Spazpunt is working it currently if i understood
i believe we can find some of these animation in Longhorn Reloaded project : http://www.ddlarea.com/pc-software/operating-system/16997-longhorn-reloaded-build-4074-cd-32-bit.html

yesterday he submitted me another video with others animations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9ifQvQCO7Y
i 'm trying to port this concept when we open a folder and the images appears with an expand animation

I made some change in the shellstyle, and i published the first results of this animation in vista (only in alpha version, with a lot of bugs  )
the header and the images in explorer appears from the left and stabilize in the center . I try to add others effects

i tested a lot settings, too.. the only thing i've managed is to fix the PreviewThumbnail with an absolute Size (like in oobefldr.dll) but that's not intended 
i guess the solution is in the shell32.dll (i'm pretty sure manwhile, because the Thumbnail is more described there (including layoutpos etc.),
but enough for today, maybe i will test it tomorrow

I really wish there is a fade in animation, the fading out is pretty useless

But it's cool that you're documenting and sharing all this, thanks

There are two fade animations. Fade out and fade in.

For example the Welcome text in the Getting Started/Welcome center fades in. It uses this code.

Code:

alpha="0" animation="alpha|s|slow|delayshort"

Hi Panda X

this is the problem: in this oobefdlr file the welcome center, with this setting, the welcome center's text appears with a fade in animation, but when we port the SAME code in the shellstyle we obtain the opposite effect  I tried all settings possible, in all places available. As Kerry said, i think the fade out animation is only useful after the fade in effect

and what means "alpha=0" ? it doesn't appears with others effect (expand, horizontal/vertical and positions animations). Maybe the solution ?

i guess the alpha value sets from where the fade ranges, if you set it 128 the animation never goes to 100% tranparency but 50%

and btw in oobefldr the fade in animation is described as <if element id="atom(FadeIn)" ... not as <if element id="atom(animation)"..., if i've read it correctly (can't check it atm)
