Ok, here is the latest update on my main menu project.
Thanks to lambi1982, it now has a neat transition effect.
Imagine, if you will:
>>
>>
The blank wallpaper is the transition state. Gives a neat fade/blur effect and a false sense of speed. False or not, it feels faster. Perception is important too
When you close the menu, the icons fly off and it transitions out to the blur again.
Hard to explain but pretty neat. Still not done with it.
