I would not invest work in improving the palette animations for the following reasons:
* Right now, we have two different palettes implementations. The old, based in Gtk.Menu, used only when we need submenus (Journal, Clipboard) and the new. Was proposed remove the old implementation [1] * The palette code is a nightmare, and now Gtk have the popovers, that provide a similar functionality [2] * There are a lot of bugs related to palettes [3] * Popovers will implement animations [4] * We can remove a lot of code. Remove code is better than write code :) If I had free cpu cycles, I would invest in research if is possible theme Gtk popovers to look as our palettes, and if there are any limitation than could be a blocker.
