[Feature Request] Visible indicators for Covers

[jawadakhan97]

hey, thanks for the package, it's super cool and i hope to use it. the name was a bit strange (much + light = ??) but it makes sense with the projector lore.

when 1. attending lectures and viewing them asynchronously, as well as in a recording, i am at times caught off-guard by the introduction of elements in the fashion which is available at present, with Cover or with Only, which seems to exacerbate this issue as there are no animations which may guide the viewer (i.e. me) as to where the content will be, and 2. when a prof or someone has an empty slide that starts with like one large bullet point, a large title, a small title, a large sentence, a small sentence (size here refers to the area it occupies on a slide, not length) it is ambiguous how much content there will be on the slide (by the end of sort of revealing or showing all the content) which, in a time-constrained environment causes explainability to suffer (fighting with technology doesn't help...) as there is no visual indicator with which i can gauge prior to the reveal of the whole or entirety of the slide.

i suppose i could share mockups if you'd like, in order to get the meaning across if i haven't communicated it well.

vis-à-vis solutions; i was thinking some kind of filter with some of the following qualities in part or in conjunction: blurring/diffuse effect, a rounded light grey (or other color) rectangle sort of like how censored stuff or confidential cia stuff looks but less harsh and less distracting, i have other stuff but i think i've written enough...

#91 might be part of what you would like. Blurring filters etc. are currently not supported by Typst. Similarly, proper animations are not something you can do with PDFs.

I am closing this issue for now. Feel free to reopen it or add another comment if you feel like more discussion is needed.
