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:
-
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).
-
Declarative ui definition like slint of xaml in wpf
-
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
