Commenting on the design meeting minutes:

> icons may help, even in the current form, in sidebar (Hossein)

Icons may help somewhat - but IMHO _not much_ in the current form of the
animation picker, because it's already dense, and the icons would be super
small. You need large icons for them to be at all meaningful. Looking at the
"Screenshot Powerpoint" attachment - I get _very little_ from the icons.

But why did I say  "not much" rather than "not at all"? Because small icons
could provide a categorization, orthogonal to the main categorization
(Basic/Special/Exciting/Moderate).

>  dedicated dialog needed for notebookbar-only variants (Sahil)

Disagree. That is, we need something more expansive for effect selection than
what's on the sidebar, and the question of whether we're using menus or tabs is
immaterial. (It _is_ material to what kind of UI we actually want to have, but
not to the fact that it's necessary.)

>  on the long run we should add some styles-like widget for animations as known from MSO (Hossein)

You mean, like in the second attachment made by buovjaga? I indeed like that
more than a completely separate dialog. But why only in the long run? Why not
the short run? Also - would you "anchor" this to the menus, or perhaps - to the
sidebar? i.e. have a "expand-sideways" menubutton-like widget?
