Any suggestions?..sorry for being quite the noob..

worth re installing transitions control too, maybe first, change settings then restart

I don't keep any of my transitions to zero, maybe that does something, it was never meant to be zero.
Fast transitions are nice after a while.
The rotate percent is how much the rotation is done. At 50, half of animation is done, meaning it starts at a quarter of animation, does half of it and then skip the rest.
It looks better at some less then 100 because it gives the rotation feeling but takes less. Even a 20 percent is pretty nice.

Sorry to jack a thread but what would be cool is if we could change the transitions! Anyone know how to go about this? I will start looking into it if I get the time

Already developed transitions are done by the OS.
AFAIK you'll have to modify the window manager, in this case I believe Hildon. Good luck with that.

) it is clutter they use for the transition animations. I don't know any C though so trawling through the source code will be difficult for me. Willing to turn this into a project though if any one is interested?

Not as bad of an idea, but it has its difficulties:
a) Need to patch Hildon, meaning modify every-day-use code. Perfection is required.
b) You need people with GOOD grasp of C, as well as (likely) hardware knowledge for the acceleration. If you just plan on scolling the other way, no. But animation isn't very easy.
c) You need to keep up. Every release Hildon is modified, so you need to re-integrate your patch, assuming it doesn't break when Hildon updates, like external libraries.
Quite the work and lots of bumps in the road. Now if Hildon has external animations in libraries, then you have a shot. Likely, no.
Also, I like the idea of new and cool animations but
a) I am NOT installing a beta window manager, like I don't do custom kernels, because I need it to work before I need it to work well. It's my phone, not a toy.
b) Smoother/better/longer animations eat more CPU, GPU, memory, etc. Remember, battery is quite small. The reason N900 works is because it's very, very efficient. Nice animations might drop the device from 8 hours to 4, rendering it unusable. Even a 10% drop in battery life is quite noticeable to me, because I routinely get home with < 30 %, meaning on a long day I'm gonna run out. This means I can't rely on the device to route me in an emergency, e.g.
'Tis quite the endeavor you are looking at. If it were easy, it would have been here already

I'll write back when I figure out how he did it.
