When an OSX window is promoted to be full screen there is a one second transition animation. How can this be disabled system wide? We would like the transition from small window to full screen to be instantaneous - except for the unavailable rendering lag.

Here are two for examples of solutions that DONT work, so no need to repeat them:

Most popular "solutions" are two:

Terminal

Type " defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO"

Hit enter

Close all applications before you do this to make sure the setting propagates. Any app running when you make this change will need to be restarted for the changes to take effect.

In reality, NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled doesn't effect OS X 10.9 at all. Nothing will change however you like to set it.

There is a app called TotalSpace (or Spaces) that I know is able to disable some transitional animations.

In reality, Total Space can disable some animation switching between screens, but when you play a video on, say Yahoo Screen, the animation from a small video to a full screen video still remains - and in fact that is the actually annoying animation (takes about 0.5 second to complete therefore breaks the video experience).

When an OSX window is promoted to be full screen there is a one second transition animation. How can this be disabled system wide? We would like the transition from small window to full screen to be instantaneous - except for the unavoidable lag from rendering.

Another way to ask the same question, for clarity: how do we disable full screen animation on OS X 10.9? We would like the transition from small window to full screen to be instantaneous - except for the unavailable rendering lag.

Note that this notorious full screen animation has been with OS X for quite some while now. There are many discussions around it yet no solution seems to be found.

Well, the notorious full screen animation has been with OS X for quite some while now. There are many discussions around it yet no solution seems to be found.

So my question is: how do we disable (meaning from small window to full screen will be instantaneous - except for the unavailable rendering lag) full screen animation on OS X 10.9?
