Iced, a popular GUI Crate, used by system76 for their new DE, is getting default animation support in the development branch. The animations are based on the lilt crate. As far as I know the only missing part that needs to be done is, adding animations to the default widgets.

I assume in the next release it will be shipped with animation support.

I am so happy that this is coming and look forward to see animations in my gui applications.

    This is good.

    Three things I would like to see:

    1. Starting to systematically add widgets. For example tabbed controls are missing. There is some extra crate, but this should be included in the main iced crate (I think).

    2. Declarative ui definition like slint of xaml in wpf

    3. Not sure if it is there already, but the ability to style widgets in a good way. For example to replicate how Windows 10 looked like
