Does transition work in homescreen?

[LyhjeHylje]

My homescreen flickers white background when updating even if I use the transition effects, should they work in hs at all?

Hi LyhjeHylje,

I've never tried using widget's inbuilt transitions on home-screen. If these don't work for you, you could try by using some JavaScript frameworks (e.g.: mootools) to implement them.

Thanks again for your advice jappit. I haven't used effect libraries because I thought they use heavily things that wrt does not support.

LyhjeHylje,

you're right: heavyweight transitions should be avoided in WRT widgets. Anyway, some classic fading/sliding transitions can be surely implemented in a nice manner.

Hello,

All sorts of animations should be avoided in homescreen mode, unless they are really needed to achieve good user experience.
