My MacBook, with Retina Display, has problems with smooth animations. How can I turn off the transparency (and blur) in Launchpad on OS X El Capitan?

Also I'd like to turn off animation when I open folders with apps in Launchpad. Is this possible?

  • It's confusing what you're trying to say. Can you correct your spelling and language and clarify what exactly you're trying to turn off?

You can enter the following commands in Terminal.app, they will turn off the relevant animations:

# showing and hiding Launchpad
defaults write com.apple.dock springboard-show-duration -float 0
defaults write com.apple.dock springboard-hide-duration -float 0

# changing pages in Launchpad
defaults write com.apple.dock springboard-page-duration -float 0

# restart Dock
killall Dock

There are quite a few other animations you can turn off as wel. Take a look at this answer or you could use TinkerTool

To turn the animations back on, you enter the same commands, but with 1 instead of 0
