Abstract

See full text

Embodiments are directed to maintaining layout properties when aliasing a live element and to independently inheriting animation properties using aliases. In one scenario, a computer system generates aliases for a live element displayed in a user interface (UI). The aliases represent the live element in a UI layout which includes live element properties that are inherited hierarchically. The computer system removes the live element from the UI such that the live element is no longer visible on the UI, and integrates the generated aliases into the UI layout. The aliases inherit properties of the UI layout depending on where in the layout the alias was attached. The computer system then initiates an animation for the live element using the aliases which are integrated into the UI layout according to the properties inherited from the position of the aliases in the layout.
