custom tray / tagged tray animation

Added by wongahlun over 1 year ago

I am still a beginner on Sweet Home so I have this quick question.

I made a springboard and its used to open up a custom tray
i see other people who made such combination and when they click on the spring board, the custom tray will open slowly like an animation.

can anyone teach me how do I make that animation?

I already tried to edit the custom tray and in "Animation Time" i set 120ms already and 0ms (hoping to see a contrast) but none of them give me the animated effect

please lend me a hand. thanks

ok. i just read this http://www.sweeterhome.com/projects/sweethome/wiki/Animation_Time
did some testing and figured out how to do this

but one more question.

let me illustrate with a screen shot
http://images1.fotop.net/albums/QA/A_Misc/sweeterhometop.jpg

Actually I wanna make all those blocks, say the Games block as an example
currently i have the game block as 2 layers, 1 Text block "Games" and beneath it is a block "Springblock" of games
currently when I click on that block area, a Custom tray with games icons with pop up without animation.

Let's say if I want the Custom Tray with games icons pop up with animation, question:

Do i have to add another Custom tray block beneath the Text Block and put the Spring Block icon on that Custom Tray Block?
But if so, since the Text Block is transparent, I will be able to see the Spring Block icon? and there will only be 1 spot that I can click for that Games icon block to pop up with animation?

Please see if you can help. thanks.

If I understand you correctly - you want to add the animation to a Springboard Block. This isn't possible. Unfortunately Springboard blocks are the only springboards that let you 'launch' more than one 'target' block at a time.

So you need to choose what's more important: the animation, or the function/UI.
