Hi

I'd like to make the autohide animation a bit smoother.

There are two properties in the DockManager, AutoHideHideSteps and AutoHideShowSteps, which I increased to have less "jumps" when the animation is running. This also increased the time necessary for the hide/show animation, which is unwanted. How can I adjust the time interval of the steps or the total time needed for the animation?

Hi Tuomas,

I'm sorry but there isn't any property for adjusting time.  Let me explain more about what is happening.

Right now there is a Timer behind the scenes that fires every 10ms.  When the timer ticks, one of the steps is applied (hide/show animation step).  Since 10ms is already almost effectively nothing, I don't think adding a property would help since the layout steps are probably taking more than 10ms anyhow, so decreasing that time wouldn't make a difference.
