Michael Weghorn <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #14 from Michael Weghorn <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #13) > *** Bug 155414 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Bug 155414 mentions that there are is an OS/desktop environment setting to disable animations/reduce motions for all major platforms, which is used e.g. by browsers to reduce animation automatically, s. also the MDN doc here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion I think it would be a good idea to also disable the "marching ants" in LibreOffice by default when that setting is enabled in the system, which *might* also make it unnecessary/less necessary to have the existing option in the Accessibility section of the settings (assuming that people who don't want that animation for a11y reasons would switch animations off on the system level). Without yet knowing that such an expert option already existed Bug 155414 comment 2 mentions: > One idea might be to add another option there to reduce motion/animations and > give it three possible values (similar to the Light/Dark theme setting in the > "View" section [NOTE: it's actually in "Application Colors"]: > enable/disable/automatic, where "automatic" (the > default?) would use the value from the OS/desktop environment.

Now that we already have boolean option "AnimationsEnabled" and this ticket to request making it visible in the UI, I'm wondering what would be the best way to move forward. I think for compatibility reasons, we won't be able to change the existing boolean option to allow more values (so enable/disable/automatic won't work with that one), so 2 possible ways to achieve something like this might be: 1) add a new option that allows 3 values enable/disable/"automatic/System" and deprecate/ignore the old one 2) introduce a new one, "AnimationsEnabledOverrideSystemDefault" or somesuch (defaulting to false), and only if that is set in addition, the value of "AnimationsEnabled" is taken into account, otherwise whether animations are enabled follows the system default. Any thoughts on whether this would be a good idea and whether that would make it unnecessary to have the option elsewhere in the UI in addition to the expert configuration? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
