      Hi friends, could you bring back the slide minimal animations to ES? I love the slide animation but I do not like to see the controller help sliding on the UI but I like the slide in and out animations when starting or going back from a game, the switch frm system to system in the game list could be instantanious, the navigation on the carrouel may be also instantanious but the change between the carrousel and the game list and the game start / stop may be from the slide animation

        @sergioad what do you mean "bring back"? Was it ever there and it's now missing?

            I think there are separate settings now: try unchecking carousel animations.

                @Hex Would you have any idea what combination of options results in the previous animation being referred to here?

                I believe it was you who worked on splitting the two options when introducing the instant transition?

                    @sergioad Tell me what you want to move and what should not move. I will help you out with the settings.

                    • Carousel
                    • Background

                    If you select slide/fade transition style, you will get that for all animations.
                    If you enable carousel animation, it will slide else it will move instantaneously.

                    If you want Background to be instantaneous but carousel to animate then its possible
                    If you want background to animate and carousel to be instantaneous then its possible.

                        @Hex it sounds like he wants a mix of animations.

                        • Slide for System View to Gamelist View, Gamelist to emulator
                        • Instant for the extras on System View, Gamelist to Gamelist.

                        I don't really think this is something we can/should support.

                            @sergioad There are currently 3 transitions in ES.

                            • background items on System View
                            • View to View
                            • Gamelist View to emulator

                            The animation used when one of these transitions occurs is currently consistent across all three. What you are asking for is to have at least one of them behave differently. I understand that the "Simple Slide" did this, but part of the reason it was removed was because of this inconsistency.

                            The problem is that with 3 transitions and 3 animations, there are 9 different combinations that could be implemented. If we were to add one, then that opens up the door to supporting all of them. Not to mention the difficulty in conveying what each does in the ES menu. The problem would be become even bigger if someone adds a new animation.

                            I could potentially support adding a separate option to choose the animation for each transition type if someone wanted to implement that.

                              @sergioad is correct. There was a slide instant transition. There used to be 4 different options, and now there are only 3. I also liked the slide instant quite a bit. When i have time i will look at one of my old SD builds and see if i still have that on there. I can take a video of it and post it. I would like it back as well.

                              Thanks

                                @tmntturtlguy No need to check your old builds. I know that it existed. It was removed when the option to enable/disable the carousel animation was added.

                                  Simple Slide == Carousel : disabled ,Background : Slide.
                                  Since both were separated and configurable using a combo, that option was removed.

                                    @hex it was reverse, carrousel animated but still backgrounds, I loved it; how can I recover it? Will be an option for unanimate the backgrounds at carrousel mode on a next build or I need to edit something?

                                      @sergioad My bad, if it was reversed then this is how you get a similar effect

                                      Carousel Transition : ON
                                      Transition Style : Instant
