Which would only be doable the day *all* distros ship Qt 4.6. Just
remember that Amarok needs to run on all distros and all platforms, so
animations based on Qt 4.6 are certainly not for now.

I would speak against animations by default anyway, since this is most
of the time more disturbing than anything else.  It doesn't really
enhance usability IMHO, but lets leave that to the real experts. I
wouldn't mind as options, but in a sane amount, since too much bling
kills the app.


Regards, Myriam.
