I would like to do some simple animations, like have a rectangle seem to grow in size and then shrink a little. I can’t for the life of me find out a nice and simple way to do this.
Another related question could be, how to update a window once a thread finishes working ? In Objective C you have performSelectorOnMainThread, but all I am able to find out is to use a timer, but that doesn’t feel like fine development to me. Kind of hackish.
