Bug ID: 512722
Summary: No obvious method to quickly disable animations and
shadows, etc.
Classification: Plasma

Reported In:

SUMMARY
With Plasma on Wayland, there is no key combination to quickly disable "desktop
composition" (now that there is no such thing as no-composite Wayland desktop),
but it makes it quite difficult for me to tolerate the desktop, as I feel dizzy
from animation.
After fumbling through System Settings, I found two ways to disable animations:
1. Slide the "global animation speed" to "instant", it disables everything
instantly, but... (a) it didn't quite seem obvious that it meant "no animation"
and (b) it also disables any animated feedback for drag-and-drop on the Plasma
Shell, e.g., the taskbar, making dragging and rearranging un-intuitive.
2. Disable all animations one by one in the drop-down below, but... it does not
disable all animations, e.g. panel sliding and especially fade-in/out in whilst
Alt-Tabbing, this is especially nauseating for me.
Another minor thing (though on a tangent) is that disabling animation is no
longer linked to having compositing effects any more - this is more of a habit
issue and I can disable them individually elsewhere, but it just seemed like an
extra step to me. This is nowhere near severe an issue as the ones noted above,
though.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Log into Plasma on Wayland.
OBSERVED RESULT
There should be a quick way to disable desktop effects like before
(Shift-Alt-F12) and an option to disable (or not enable) animation on each
login (as before).
EXPECTED RESULT
Such options no longer exists and UI seems confusing.
