Unity Launcher UI Improvement/Suggestion

[Steve Masson]

I highly suggest to provide a "glass" mode for the Launcher Items. This is much more appealing. During an item launch, it flashes from transparent to item color, instead of item color to transparent. Much better..

In Unity-2D, one can get this "glass" mode by doing the following:

In file /usr/share/unity-2d/launcher/LauncherItem.qml

In section Image id "tileBackground":

-- add the line "opacity: 0"
-- in subsection "SequentialAnimation", change "0.0" to "1.0", and "1.0" to "0.0"

In section Image id "tileOutline":

-- change the line "opacity: 0" for "opacity: 1.0"
-- in subsection "SequentialAnimation", change "1.0" to "0.0", and "0.0" to "1.0"

OMG :-D
added ayatana-design so that this could be considered for the future.

This is already possible in Unity 3D using CCSM, changing project to Unity 2D.
