[Feature Request] Boot Splash as an indicator • ◦ ◦
This is a feature request.
"if the animation is stuck at the the 3rd appearance of "• • ◦" (10-11 seconds) then XYZ might have gone wrong" (see #3
below).
Make the loading indicator more simple and less animated, similarly to Ubuntu Touch.
Proposal:
Second | Visual |
---|---|
1 | • ◦ ◦ |
2 | • • ◦ |
3 | • • • |
4 | ◦ ◦ ◦ |
5 | • ◦ ◦ |
Motives:
-
I don't like animations.
-
I think current wobbling animation (REF:1), when are not needed, are confusing, harmful and waste time.
-
Unlike the current wobbling effect, a more simple animation would give a fairer initial indication when something gets wrong. (i.e. if the animation is stuck at the the 3rd appearance of "• • ◦" (10-11 seconds) then XYZ might have gone wrong).
-
I would compromise to a logo animation (REF:2) with the three dots "• ◦ ◦" below it.
Note:
Personally, I don't want any animation at all, I like the text console. But if we do have an animation - which I admit is productive - then let it be with as less as unnecessary effects and more functional effects instead.
