We made hack session with Remenic today for clearlooks-cairo animation.
We reviewed patches, now clearlooks animation is based on gtkrc settings, so you can define if you wish animation or not in you theme file.

Here is code sample how it looks in .gtkrc to enable animation:

engine "clearlooks"
  {
    animation = TRUE
  }

Here is lates video with:
progressbar animation(h264 241K),
progressbar animation(xvid 839K).

Update*
Today i completely reworked major part of code. I switched from GList to GHashTable for widgets. Now you can add animation asynchron to every widget type.
Radio buttons are doing fade in and fade out as checkboxes now. Just take a look:
progressbar animation 4(h264 241K),
progressbar animation 4(xvid 394K).

We desided to remove slider animation.

All patches are in cvs now. After installing this, dont forget to restart gnome

Thanks Drom, for linking me lately on news.gnome.org. Thanks for all your comments and emails.

PS. comments works again...
And some people asking me why i dont use open source codec for video. I am sure thay mean ogg theora. There is one simple reason, theora isnt such good as xvid or h264 are. h264 is very new technology and implement very great new algorythms and ideas. There are open source implementation for h264  called x264, and xvid. So please dont be afread to something new, and use it.
You can get realy good information about different codecs, technical data and comparisons on doom9 forum.
