OTOH, many of the modes supported by TransitionWindow look
terrible in OS X. TransitionWindow was originally intended to let
a developer mimic the "zoom" effect used by the Finder when new
windows are opened. In OS 9 it was a perfect match. In OS X,
TransitionWindow provides a very retro "zooming squares" effect,
while the real Finder actually has a gorgeous scaling effect.
Nowadays it's been augmented with other transition types that look
OK on OS X, but they still haven't revisited the original zoom
effect yet. :| I have an open radar on this that's been idle for a
long time (years?).
Agreed, and I hope to get to this for Leopard and make
TransitionWindow use the same effect that the Finder uses.
Cool! Now all the ancient code out there still calling StopAlert and
friends will look totally awesome ;) ;)
Seriously, that is very good news and I hope it makes it into
Leopard. I expect to hear lot more Cocoa developers asking for
TransitionWindow to be compatible with [nsWindow windowRef] windows :)
