Question: Possible feature, possible independent project

[eljobe]

I recently cobbled together a proof-of-concept for an idea that I've now been driving for a couple of weeks for having my JankyBorders being subtly animated. https://github.com/eljobe/janky-shimmer (Be sure to play the demo video and watch the borders.)

I like it a lot, but, right now, I'm pretty sure it is much less efficient than it would be if it were built into the borders binary directly (instead of a separate process that's just constantly reconfiguring the borders server over the CLI.)

Would you be interested in developing, or taking contributions to incorporate a system like that directly into JankyBorders?

Animations are definately something I would accept contributions for. However, I think permanent animations will be a battery killer. I was thinking about short animations on window focus/unfocus.

The current drawing system is not particularly efficient for animations, such that it would likely require a larger rework of the rendering system.
