 * Creates an animation effect where the Shell's image is captured and

 * masks the changes to the 'real' shell and then the covering image
 * fades to transparent, revealing the new state.

 * This provides a nice cross-fade effect for operations like a
 * perspective change (where the overall effect on the shell is large.
