[feature request] settable loop hover animation toggle

[Dylan Taylor]

I realize this is probably an incredibly minor request, but it's probably only a few lines of code to implement. One of the cool things I liked about the older versions of Avant-Window-Navigator was when you hovered over an icon, the hover animation would infinitely loop until you no longer hovered over that icon. It was kinda cool watching the icons spin with the "3D Spotlight Turn" hover effect while waiting for something to complete such as downloading files, compiling programs, or simply for amusement. In newer versions of AWN, the hover animation is only played once, and I agree that some people may like it better that way, but myself and probably several other users liked how it used to be. Maybe just stick an option called "Loop Icon Hover Animation" to the Advanced tab?

EDIT: It appears that Hover Animations DO loop. I have noticed that the "Fade", "Spotlight", "Squish", and "3D Turn" effects all loop properly. The others don't need to loop. There is still however a problem with the "3D Spotlight Turn" effect. It should loop, but it does not.

I don't have any strong preference regarding 3d spotlight turn, the animation pausing was supposed to prevent the icons from moving around and distracting if user just leaves his/her mouse on the icon and uses keyboard or something... (but there are enough effects which don't disturb - classic, simple, etc.)

Anyone else feels that the animation should loop in this particular case?
