You can just find the appropriate groups in the theme and reduce the transition time to 0 of animations you want to happen instantly... but making anyone who makes themes having to do multiple times the work is not a great thing. well more specifically the effects being disabled are in specific groups and are being done by having fast versions or signals to turn shadows on and off etc. and this only addresses those groups. it doesn't cover any other animations so it's totally inconsistent. the way to do this would have been to have a global transition multiplier in edje then all edje driven animations are spend up (or slowed down) no matter where and theme authors don't need to do a lot more work just to support it. so since it's not consistent, more and more animations are really not just "compositor" but it's far more integrated and shared between client widget elements etc. it makes no sense to have some special case here. so your menu will appear instantly instead of zoom+fade in - but the items being selected still may fade in and out with no control there unless we also add yet more groups to everything and this makes theme work a nightmare. themes are enough work already without making them even more... > It is annoying that we cannot find different themes suitable for > enlightenment git versions themes broke at e18 (part of the move to becoming a wayland compositor and not relying on x windows for the input and needing the evas objects to do it) they have been stable since (or should have been). :) things have been added since though but then you get the default theme elements for the missing groups so it works... one reason people don't like making themes is they are so big... so making them simpler is a good thing. but things like what animations should look like is a theme decision and the more you push into code the harder it is to make it consistent and the more likely it is you push work to the theme to have to support all the options in code. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
