Thanks for wobbly windows, and related animations!

I've been missing these since moving to gnome-shell, look forward to libanimation maturing, and being able to use a gnome-shell build with windows that can wobble once more.

Hey, thanks for the comment @stuaxo

I want to clarify that libanimation is merely a math library and while I've prototyped integrating it with GNOME-Shell, I (nor Endless) are by no means bringing it to GNOME-Shell upstream: eg, you should not expect this in an upcoming release.

Of course, if the GNOME Shell maintainers would like to use it or integrate with it somehow, that's up to them.

Yup, this is all true.

Optional features like wobbly windows bring happiness to the user, but it seems like there is less room for this in gnome proper, it seems to get sacrificed to productivity and use cases.

Yes, thank you for your contributions. I wish more desktop environments included options like those compiz allowed. I hope your library gets much use in the future :)

And yet they force us to use an annoying hot corner activity switcher which we hit inadvertently with our mice all the time. And the stupid thing can't be disabled unless we download a third party gnome extension. Where is the productivity in that. The user should at least have the option.
