Yeah, the animation out would likely best be optional.
Adding onto this whole idea...how about an option to fade AND slide in either direction? Seems logical, given that Windows 10 does just that...let me guess, not worth the time and effort given the nonexistent impact on usability? >.> |

The taskbar does not function same way as a menu skin. Because there is no additional user glass color mask, looks like Ivo made it to have png alpha at 0/... |
