Slow motion stacks bug??!!

digital disasta · May 22, 2008 2:07PM

I was just playing around with stacks and I found out that if you hold shift and click on a stack it springs up VERY slow, kind of cool looking the first time you do it, kind of stupid after that lol.

-end pointless conversation-

Had read about this before, think I tried it then too, a novelty as you say

Not quite a bug, but kinda pointless too

Holding Shift does the same slo-mo thing when minimizing to the dock (or un-minimizing).

I don't know if it serves some practical purpose, probably just a show-off. But the shift-click combo to slow down animations has been around for a long time in Mac OS X. I have to check this out to be sure, but I think maybe since Puma (10.1).

Possibly debugging so they can check the effect works correctly on a number of machines easily.

More likely because it's cool though.

It's been there since DP3 when Steve first showed Mac OS X with Aqua to the public. He used it in demos of the minimize warp effect to the Dock.

And dragging tabs in and out of the tab bar in Safari.

Also closing a widget, pressing the (+) to add a widget (but not the ripple effect

)
