+
+## The Idea
+Please describe your idea as detailed as possible.
+It would be great if you could add a drawing or any other kind of mock-up to illustrate your idea!
+
+## Window Closing vs. Window Opening
+Make sure to describe how the effect could be reversed, so how should a window disappear and how should it appear.
+
+## References
+It would be great if you could provide some video references (e.g. YouTube links) if your idea is based on something which - for example - exists in movies.
