DISABLE-WINDOW-ANIMATIONS

This extension simply disable all window manager animations.

  • Window "slide-ins"
  • Workspace "slide-ups" and "slide-downs"
  • Maybe more (drop me a line if you register anything else :-)

However, it does NOT disable dash animations ("zoom-ins" and "zoom-outs" etc.)

Works with Gnome Shell 3.0-3.2 (Fedora, Ubuntu, anything...)

INSTALLATION:

Method 1: Via web browser

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/119/disable-window-animations/

Method 2: Manual

Create a folder in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions called [email protected] and move extension.js and metadata.json into that folder. Restart the gnome-shell:

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions 2>/dev/null

git clone git://github.com/lzap/disable-window-animations \

~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]

Alt-F2 and "r" ENTER

For Gnome Shell 3.2 you also need to turn the extension on. The easiest way to do that is to install gnome-tweak-tool and go to Shell Extensions settings screen and turn it on (the switch-"thing" must have "I" on it).

FUTURE:

Please note there is ongoing process to enable Gnome Shell to load GConf setting for this. This extension will be unsupported then. But the patch is not in the Gnome master yet, we will be releasing new versions until it gets in the stable AND Fedora.
