Over the past couple of days (or is it weeks 
), I have played with tons of tweaks and customizations for the virtualized CoverFlow. I think I finally have a winner from my project’s perspective. Although I can’t share that version, I’ll show you one that is a few days old. It is quite close to the final result, except for the visual polish.
So what are these enhancements ?
- Smoother animations
- Improvements to speed scrolling and animations at the edges. The edge animations come into play during the container recycling.
- Optimizations to container management. You can now tweak a few exposed parameters to improve performance. [Note: This is only for developers of the CoverFlow control and not for clients using the control]
- Use of lights and shadows with LinearGradientBrush
Have a look,
Great stuff (as always)!!
I hope some day you can release it. I know a lot of people would kill for the virtualized version!
Thanks Jer. Yes, I’ll release it… “some day”
Nice!!
Waiting for “some day”

Hi Guys,
I am trying to develop a virtualized elementflow by myself starting for the great FludiKit source code.
.
I am discussing it here: http://www.meedios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2428 where you can also find a video example of it running on a huge cover collection (1.216 jpegs and more than 400 Mbytes…).
I still didn’t implemented the IScrollInfo Interface, but it is working anyway (you just have to set the number of visualelements to be “realized” in the screen in the WPF XAML code)
Still haven’t released the code (still woking on it) but I hope I will soon
Cheers,
Dakkar
