You should just do all of these in CSS. It doesn't seem to me any of you
requirements is undoable in CSS. Probably you need more concrete example.

In addition, what sticky wants to do is to make this effect
JavaScript-free, so that it could be smoothly rendered. If you want to use
JavaScript, you can just go back and listen on scroll event and do
everything you like there. Using sticky with those two events wouldn't make
anything better than just using scroll event, I suppose.
