Bug Description
The Launcher should provide instant visual feedback when a user clicks on a icon to launch an application.
At the moment clicking on a Launcher icon to launch an application starts a slow pulsing animation while the application loads. However because the animation fades in slowly after the click, the responsiveness of the Launcher is being perceived as slow.
Desired resolution:
The following animations for when a user clicks on a Launcher icon to Launch an application should be tested:
a) Outerglow instantly switches on for a short set duration (fraction of a second)
b) Icon glow instantly inverts, and then pulse animation starts running from the inverted state. If backlight mode is set as 'always on', this means that on click the backlight instantly switches off. If backlight mode is set as 'toggles', this meas that on click the backlight instantly switches on. After this instant state inversion, the normal pulse animation starts running.
c) Any other ideas you think of ;-)
After these transitions are implemented they will need to be tested by design where the single option that will ship with 12.04 will be chosen..

+1 to this enhancement. I would love to see it glow instantly when clicked.
