[Kde-graphics-devel] Animated tooltips

[Zack Rusin]

Hey,

it'd be nice to have a little more attractive tooltips. I know Aaron 
wanted to replace the menu button zooming in kicker with something like 
a nice tooltip. 

Personally I like the ones Enrico created for kpdf. I was trying to 
figure out whether there's some decent animation which we could add to 
it to make it even more attractive (yes, lately I'm on a animation trip 
lately, there's just not enough animation in kde, it's too static for 
me :) ) For now the answer is "hell, no". I'm attaching an example 
showing animated tooltips. 
Compile with "qmake" and "make", then run with "./weird". 

I was toying with the idea of creating an opengl widget and rotating the 
pixmap about the y-axis, but so far I haven't had the time to do that. 

Any ideas on how to make it more attractive without inducing violent 
behavior among users?

Zack
