Unless your application is the only thing that the user will ever see, having different apps behaving differently is very confusing. Second, to be honest: Don't bother. Linux boxes, and that includes Android, suck at graphics. Although the power of the CPU/GPU has manyfolded in 10 years time, graphical effects are still clumsy and staggering. Every time I see (and feel) a Mac or iDevice I'm surprised to see (and feel) good graphics at work. And the Mac did have good graphical effects way back when it ran on a 68K cpu. Even OSX running in a VirtualBox on Linux has better graphical effects than native Linux itself. How come? I don't know. If suspect it's the X architecture. On my priority list, superfluous graphical effect would be very, very low. -- JohanThread Previous
