Task Image Animation

[Old Dog]

Task image animation doesn't feel right.

More importantly, with prejudice, this should be controlled in the main menu skin.xml file.

Yes, I did initially consider this, but ended up implementing it the way I did.

I did have my reasons for placing it there. I should probably add a setting to the skin to allow the skin designer to say whether they want to support task animations in there skin, but leave other settings in config.xml since they have a slightly different meaning.

The idea was, I wanted a single place the user could control/disable the animations. for example, even though skin may have been designed for with animations included, their machine may not be up to it, so they can use the setting in config.xml to override the skin's enabled animation. Same idea with animation steps. They may want animations to complete quicker on their machine, or they have slow machine and its too slow with lots of steps. I dont want the user to have to go in and edit the skin for this...

Sounds like a good solution, everyone benefits.

Thanks Sub.
