Description Gerhard Bräunlich 2007-08-13 16:42:35 UTC
There should be a gconf key to disable the minimize effect.
The /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources key does so but it also disables showing the window contents when dragging.

Other information:
Comment 1 Thomas Thurman 2008-03-09 02:33:43 UTC
So what you want is a way of being able to choose which reduced-resources effects you get.  Maybe you also want to be able to turn wireframe display on alt-tab on and off, or something?

I think we need a way of tagging policy questions like this one separately.
Comment 2 Gerhard Bräunlich 2008-03-09 08:25:35 UTC
Exactly. But the feature to toggle the wireframe display isn't that important to me.
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2008-09-27 15:10:35 UTC
this is definitely a duplicate bug, there's a bunch of old discussion
Comment 4 Gerhard Bräunlich 2009-10-18 08:48:54 UTC
If you want, I'll try to create patches to add a new gconf key "disable_minimize_effect".
But I don't know what has been discussed so far or if this is welcome actually.

There would be two possibilities:
- The key "reduced_resources" doesn't affect the behaviour any more and only the new key takes care of that.
- Both keys "reduced_resources" and "disable_minimize_effect" disable the minimize effect independently.

This would be a patch for the second possibility.
Comment 6 Gerhard Bräunlich 2009-10-23 21:06:28 UTC
Ouch - seems like the key "/desktop/gnome/interface/enable_animations" is just what I wanted.
It's fine for me to close this bug and forget my patch.

Thanks. Closing.
