2011-09-23 09:37:06 Steve Masson description I highly suggest to provide a "glass" mode for the Launcher Items. This is much more appealing. 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" 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..
