Hi,

You have just introduced a new changing of slights feature. The slights are now fed by an animation moving from right to left.

Personally I find this very distracting when studying.

Is there a chance that you could make this optional, e.g. by having a switch somewhere to chose between different feeding animations?

Not a major point but just to say that the previous transition was much less 'getting in the way' of studying.

Skritter is great. Keep it up guys!

I fully agree. I find it not only distracting, but rather painful on the eyes too.

I have to agree with that one. Neat idea but hurts my eyes

I agree, too.

Okay, pretty unanimous on that experiment! I've turned it off again; thanks for the perspective.

We'd actually built those a long time ago but turned them off for speed; I just found a way to make them fast enough (I hoped), so I wanted to try them out.

For those that saw the transitions, is there anything related worth trying? For example, we had both the prompt and the Flash sliding--might having just one of those make sense, or are both bad? What about a fade instead of a slide?

I would certainly think fading would be easier on the eyes, but it iss still unneeded flair in my opinion to have any animation between characters. If I did 100 reviews it would mean I wouldd have to watch more than that in animations.

Plus fading wouldn't work with the HCI element of letting the user know if they were going backwards or forwards like you were trying to accomplish with the sliding.

I agree with mcfarljw. Actually the previous/ original transition was very good. From my point of view no need for change or improvement there.
