Adding Emphasis to screen elements - TitaniumBunker/Selfietorium GitHub Wiki

An idea that was raised during the development of this project was the possibility of adding subtle animation to the UI screen elements.

Initially it was thought that this could be accomplished by splitting the interface into multiple elements, but an alternative might be to add some form of animation code into the SVG. This would allow a designer to design a complete interface - for example : Consider a scene where the Selfitorium logo could subtly wobble (say +- 5 degrees).

The rotation information could be stored in a custom XML section, which could be interrogated when rendering the page. Additionally a library could be created that would apply animation to a screen element based on time elapsed and animation settings. Similar animation exists for XAML, and therefore it might be an idea to build animation based on these existing objects.

Regardless adding emphasis would not be supported through Inkscape naturally, and would have to be added through alternative mechanisms, and therefore it has been decided that this is a low priority development.
