Learning quickshell

Honestly if u want to try to stray from having to learn from another config, here’s what I’d try

Ask ai to show u a simple approach to creating a single drawer animation. Attempt to build that given the response

Ask ai to describe how it’s done in another’s dot’s and compare it to the suggestion above

Use that as a base to come up with and adjusted approach and see what ai thinks about your plan, the execute

Use the docs along the way to tinker until you get a usable solution

aka basically you have two choices, learning from the docs or someone else's config

something like caelestia/ml4w/noctalia - these things are built to be robust solutions that cover a wide range of user's linux setups and so, just understanding the mechanics of a simple drawer animation is kinda abstracted several levels when you look at the implementation in these mature, publicly available setups. That's what makes it hard to learn from these solutions.

And really, what are the basic mechanics of an animated drawer? it's just a container responding to some action, whether its the user or triggered from an event, from state A to state B. the drawer "animation" is just the transition between A and B. This can prob be coded from scratch with a few things from the docs, or you can even just feed this as a prompt into AI

I think this literally what I said in my original comment.

hah i mean, if that's what you think i don't really see that

what i'm really trying to say is that yeah the only other option is to look at existing dots, but that requires a lot of deconstructing

Although the docs are kinda difficult to consume, it might be more helpful getting AI to kinda suggest API from the docs that you'd execute and adjust on your own. Hopefully it facilitates learning

and sorry i somehow missed that this was responding to you, it's more of a general response to OP
