Everyone seems to agree this is bad -- and in the wrong hands, it definitely could be.
However, I can think of some great uses for it:
- Very similar to iPhone's "delete", which most people are familiar with. It means "Hey, I can be dragged"
- Could be good for refusing to do an action. Apple shakes the login box when you use the wrong password.
- A tiny notification icon could shake every few seconds to get someone's attention.
- Some logos (a car?) could look cool shaking for a second or two (either right away, or on hover).
- In tutorials, to show a button/element that the tutorial is talking about
- molf 13y agoAgreed; these animations are actually excellent and can be very useful in cases like those you described.
- wingerlang 13y agoI am using shake on action "not available" for one of my project and it fits very well.
- mrtksn 13y agoI agree, some of these effects are appropriator for negative ore attention seeking reactions. A checkbox must be checked before submitting the form? Shake the ckeckbox when the user clicks submit. Log-in failed? shake the log-in form.
- program 13y agoIn fact Wordpress shake the form on /wp-admin/ if the login failed.
- userbinator 13y agoI would prefer flashing or changing colour (slowly); it gets my attention in a rather less irritating way than movement.
