gconf key to disable minimize effect
Last modified: 2009-12-04 17:28:04 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:
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.
Exactly. But the feature to toggle the wireframe display isn't that important to me.
this is definitely a duplicate bug, there's a bunch of old discussion
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.
Created attachment 146115 [details] [review] Patch This would be a patch for the second possibility.
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.
