Vertical and horizontal slide transitions are too different to have the same name

[tqc]

Slide moves both the current and next pages sideways, while slideup/slidedown moves the next page over the current page. These are two different transitions, neither of which is implemented for all directions.

This becomes particularly noticeable if you use transparent backgrounds - on iPad a fixed background image and transparent pages performs a lot better than having background images on the pages.

I'm confused. What is the actual issue?

[tqc]

It could be looked at as either inconsistent behaviour or missing transitions. It's possible to create a custom transition that is a vertical version of slide (though I'm not sure what to call it given that slideup is used for something else), but it seems like something the framework could handle better.

The reference to performance is simply some background on why I ran into the issue - removing background images made the transitions a lot faster and didn't impact anything other than the vertical transitions.

Please add this suggestion to the feature request wiki and close when that's done. We'll re-open if we decide to tackle this.
