Thank you for this work, however I am skeptical of adding several MB of gifs both to the main repo and to the built docs. |

I like the idea of this a lot...@satisf1ed could you provide the code and render the gifs as part of the build process? I'm thinking maybe as separate or one big animation? I'm not sure it'd be smaller but either way I'd prefer that for maintainability. |

Thank you for your work on this @satisf1ed , but I am going to decline this PR. Restoring the old docs I think addresses the main issue. In addition to the method of using our actual icon assets ensuring that the images in the docs do not get out of sync, by just showing the buttons we can side-step the issue that different GUI toolkits have the toolbar in different places (but they all use the same icons). It may be worth copy-editing the descriptions of what the buttons do, but that will be sufficiently different that I think it would be best to start a new branch + PR for that work. Please do not be discouraged and I hope we hear from you again! |
