Description Christian Neumair 2002-11-13 21:12:41 UTC 
I already submitted an animation patch for metacity [1] which was rejected
by Havoc.
Now I noted that you added a boolean gconf key named
"/apps/panel/global/enable_animations".
My proposal is the following:
We remove the "/apps/panel/global/enable_animations" key and move it to
"/desktop/gnome/interface/enable_animation" as I'm sure that some people
are annoyed by the animation when pressing a launcher (including me) AND by
the metacity one.
Using one keyname for all animations makes much more sense from a users'
point of view.

see you,
 Chris

Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2002-11-16 00:04:43 UTC 
Havoc: what do you think about this ? It sounds like it could be a
good idea because we already have the option in the panel. Moreover it
would be a more consistent behaviour.
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-16 05:00:42 UTC 
A single global key certainly beats a key for each animation.
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2002-12-01 11:16:21 UTC 
Commited a patch which adds enable_animations to /desktop/gnome/interface.
Next thing I'll do is revamping my metacity patch.

regs,
 Chris

It seems like this has been committed, is it time to close the bug?
Comment 6 Vincent Untz 2004-10-18 11:15:19 UTC 
I'm not sure we're using this key in the panel...
Comment 7 Christian Neumair 2004-10-27 16:04:56 UTC 
No, obviously we don't. The toplevel panel property "animate" seems to be
construct-only.
Comment 8 Christian Neumair 2004-10-27 16:06:59 UTC 
Besides, it isn't set from gconf.
Comment 9 Luis Villa 2005-01-02 16:37:08 UTC 
Retitling; Manny, please doublecheck to see that I am correct.
Comment 10 Glynn Foster 2006-01-24 23:59:23 UTC 
2.13.x still uses the panel enable_animations key.
Comment 11 Vincent Untz 2006-01-25 07:38:15 UTC 
Let's add a milestone for this. Not sure it'll get in for 2.14.x, but we won't forget about it so easily.

Also, should we follow the xsetting or the gconf key? If there's an xsetting, I guess this is what we should look...
Comment 12 André Klapper 2020-11-07 12:15:39 UTC 
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you still use gnome-panel and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
