View iTunes Music Store panel animation in slow-mo
Authored by: osxpounder on Jul 06, '04 06:08:14PM

Ok, ok, leave it to me to find a good excuse for this slow-mo thing. Here's one: users who suffer from visual agnosia may benefit from having things change a little more slowly than the rest of us can tolerate. I only just learned about that disorder today, though, so I'm just, um, what do they call it, reaching for straws?

Since usability testing supports the idea that slower transitions are easier to recognize, there's another possible angle. Perhaps Apple had earlier planned to offer a checkbox preference for Finder specifying "slow transitions" for that reason, and the last vestige of it is the SHIFT-click .... ?
