[Sugar-devel] [PATCH v2 Sugar] Pulsing icon delayed by 5 seconds or so SL#2080

[Anurag Chowdhury]

When we click on the icon of an activity we see a pulsing icon of that activity
before the activity starts and usually there is a time delay between the
clicking of the icon and appearance of the pulsing icon , where tha amount of
delay differs by the complexity of the icon i.e. more complex the icon is
larger is the delay. So here we tried to reduce that delay if not completely
obliterate it , by making the duration of the first 5 pulses larger and during
these 5 times the icon will only be zoomed in and not zoomed out so as to reduce
the frame calculation load on the processor, Hence reducing the delay.
