Yep - it just looked like such an afterthought being very poorly integrated,
and seemed to pop up at random.
In this context, one way animation can work well is as a guiding tool when
the user is doing something for the first time, appears to be stuck or asks
for help. Being able to switch on and off such a help mode would also then
be essential.
Cheers,
