Hi Lars, I've tried to achieve this challenge, and I'm very disapointed by the result. Indeed, when the animation starts it is very very jerky. My former colleagues told me that in my original work, the animation was not present (the sizes change in a single operation).
I've tried to understand why the result is so bad : 1) Font sizes are integer, so even if you want to move your label size from 16 pixels to 20 pixels in 500ms, it's not smooth 2) We need to layout the label and the text widget I keep working on it, but I just wanted to keep you informed Laurent 2018-03-21 22:16 GMT+01:00 Lars Vogel <lars.vo...@vogella.com>: > Great news Laurent, looking forward to it. > > Best regards, Lars > > On Wed, Mar 21, 2018 at 9:24 PM, Laurent Caron <laurent.ca...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hi Lars, > > > > Yep I use Gerrit, I'll push my changes. > > > > I think this component will be on "incubation" state, and will be > available > > in the next version of Nebula. > > > > Kind regards > > > > Laurent > > > > 2018-03-20 20:32 GMT+01:00 Lars Vogel <lars.vo...@vogella.com>: > >> > >> Hi Laurent, > >> > >> great news indeed.
