Preview Animation & Border Connection
Slower slide animation and colored border linking preview to timeline item
Output
Preview Panel UX Improvements
✅ Changes Made
1. Slower Slide Animation
Increased from 0.35s to 0.55s
Users now have time to notice the graceful slide-out animation instead of it appearing abruptly.
2. Colored Border Connection
Preview panel now has a colored border that matches the timeline item's topic/domain color.
Creates a visual link between the timeline item and its preview - like a thread connecting them.

🔄 How It Works
// When opening preview: var detected = detectTopicOrDomain(kontask); var accentColor = getTopicDomainColor(detected); container.style.borderColor = accentColor; // CSS border definition: border: 2px solid transparent; border-right: none; /* Touches timeline */
