For what reason (if any)?
- enriquto 8y agoI don't know why, but they are deeply distracting to me.
- benrbray 8y agoI agree. They also tend to make the UI feel really slow and unresponsive if interaction is disabled while animations are playing.
- seanwilson 8y agoI like UI animations but don't like when they're too complicated or vary too much because it's distracting. Some examples I always remember from in Material are the ripple effects when you click a button (it lasts too long and varies depending where you tap) and the loading spinner (instead of a simple shape rotating at a steady speed, the shape path varies in length and it slows down and speeds up continually).
- JimDabell 8y agoThey cause motion sickness for some people.
- mrob 8y agoThe vast majority of UI animations increase latency. When I tell a computer to do something I expect it to do it immediately, not after wasting my time with an animation. I disable animations whenever possible. I don't need the page to slide into position when I press pagedown, or a window to gradually expand when I maximize it. I already know what I told it to do. The animations are pure timewasting for anybody with a more than 0-second memory. All successful interactions should be silent, as with correctly designed CLI tools.
