<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Hmmm, no, with Martin's below linked patch pulse colour animation is good. The only extra thing I noted in my email was that the 1sec zoom effect is still not showing for anything by very simple icons (Log icon is simple enough, Distance is not), however the zoom effect is not showing with your 'skip the first update' approach either. Fixing zoom efficiency should be looked at as a separate issue. </blockquote></div> Is really needed the zoom? If we can't do it in a efficient way, may be we can use another metaphor. What about moving the icon from the position in the home view to the screen center? I think we must do all we can to start quickly the activities. Gonzalo
