On the Stack Exchange Tour page, there are some animations for the images, those are pulling from right to left.

Sample animation:

Animation Tour

But those animations are missing in the other Stack Exchange site's tour pages.
Such as Stack Overflow Tour, Meta Stack Exchange Tour, Database Administrators Tour

    Wow! This might actually be by design. These tour sites you mentioned at the end are all responsive; they’re newly designed. I can’t confirm that right now, but I think Stack Overflow in dark mode had the shadow colors wrong all the time before the redesign. I prefer it without these animations, but I’m also not a new contributor.

Yep, the animations are gone. I had to remove them because they were calculated with exact pixel values using ancient, rigid JavaScript. The approach to the animation wouldn’t work in a responsive layout, and getting rid of them solved several bugs.

Like a lot of our pages, this one was very old and hadn’t been touched for some years. We couldn’t leave this one alone though, since it’s a lot of user’s first badge.
