Yes. When expanding, icons for additional objects would be added to
the left (up to a certain amount). An arrow would indicate more

of images:
1. Press key to switch object
2. Move right
3. Move right
4. Confirm selection
I like the design.

Hm ... how would that look like? Not sure if we really need a fancy
effect though ... as long as it is convenient and intuitive to use :-)
I thought you owned a Mac? But you're right. The fancy effect is unnecessary, and only makes sense if we want the icons to get bigger when the pointer is over them, which is probably do-able, but entirely pointless now.
