Description

I couldn't find a config item to do so, and would like to be able to disable animations. While I appreciate nice and smooth animation like wayfire has, for usability reasons due to visual processing issues, I'd like to disable them. Mostly the window maximize/unmaximize, fast switcher, and workspace switcher animations

I was already able to remove some animations by setting the animation delay to 0, but those listed above don't seem to have such options…

It'd be nice to have a global toggle for it, that could also be used in a “power saving” mode :)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Begin by locating the configuration and animation paths for maximize/unmaximize, fast switcher, and workspace switcher behavior. Done would mean a documented central option can disable or scale those animations, including for power-saving use.
