XF 1.0 Style Properties - Controlling Style Options

When it comes to quickly and easily toggling the display or behaviour of user interface elements, it often makes sense to be able to pass simple parameters to the templates.

XenForo provides a powerful and extensible system to allow variables to be defined and modified on a per-style basis, making this a breeze and opening the door for style customization by third-party add-ons.

It seems okay to me:

If you enable animations, you can adjust the speed using the multiplier. 1: Normal speed, 0.5: double speed, 2: half speed etc.

Double speed would be twice as fast, the setting works by multiplying the animation duration, so 0.5 * duration = half duration = double speed.

Yeah exactly - at first while watching the video after you typed 0.5 and the animation was faster, I wondered what was going on. Without reading it in detail (as many will not), I read 'speed' and 'multiplier' and naturally assumed 0.5x would multiply the speed by half (i.e. slower).

I wouldn't have had any issue if it was labelled animation duration or animation time rather than animation speed ;)

what happens when animations get disabled ? I quite don´t get it from the video.

Are animations just the "changing of the post-speed" ?

Or are you de-activating pop-ups when disabling animations ?

well upon disabling the animations you also disable overlays like the overlay for the ( upload a file ) button and i think that's what you were asking about. The issue was how to implement things like that , without animations that they currently depend on or something like that.

Disabling animations (animation multiplier of 0) is separate from disabling overlays.
 
Out of all the things I've seen so far this has impressed me the most. It's clear that as much effort is being put into the forum control areas as everywhere else. That really is a fantastic interface and it'll be great not to have to go on a magical mystery tour or resort to using Firebug every time I want to make a minor style change.

Superb!
