--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

While in general these kind of object picker are welcome, it is somewhat
different in this case. Powerpoint shows large icons (colored per category) for
the animations and provides the customization next to it in the ribbon. We have
a textual list in the sidebar. So besides from the visual design there is not
much difference. Adding icons to the list might be easy to do but at 16px size
it is impossible to design icons that show the effect clearly.

The Tabbed notebookbar has an interaction for animation, which opens the
sidebar.

What might be a nice enhancement is something like the recently used special
characters, colors, or styles. Meaning we list a few animations in an extra
floating widget and fill it with the FIFO principle. If, however, some effect
is modified slightly, let's say Venetian Blinds with 0.5 delay vs. 1s etc., the
list becomes less useful.

Ultimately quite some work. If you want to keep the ticket, please review the
summary.
