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: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1691359 http://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/1plzmq/is_there_a_way_to_speed_up_or_skip_fullscreen/ 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. > > URL: http://totalspaces.binaryage.com 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).
