It's already in gnome-tweak-tool as mentioned in another mail, but more importantly it will make no difference to the machine's performance. You could apply snake oil and disable the animations. The GNOME Events box machines are respectively 7 and 10 years now, I believe (see the section at the bottom: http://www.hadess.net/2015/04/jdll-2015.html) Both machines are capable of running GNOME, playing videos, and launching multiple applications at the same time. The only things that make a difference are the amount of RAM in the machine, so we can open multiple applications without swapping, and whether the storage device is a spinning hard disk, or a faster Flash drive. Being able to disable animations could still be an accessibility setting, but it will have no impact on people's ability to run GNOME and applications on older machines. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that the animations not being smooth should be considered a bug. That'd mean synchronous I/O in mutter, or a horrible block I/O scheduler in the Linux kernel. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
