Mint 13 & MATE 1.4 How to disable minimizing effect [SOLVED]

Post by takis123 »

I use Mint 13 maya with MATE 1.4 (backported recently). Everything runs well, but I want to disable that minimizing effect that appears when we are minimizing a window (that effect with the frame line of the window that shrinks down at the open window in taskbar). Is there a way ? I haven't done any other configuration, MATE 1.4 works as is by default.

Try this:

1) install gconf-editor

2) run gconf-editor in terminal

3) navigate to /apps/panel/global

4) uncheck "enable_animations"

Let me know if it works.

Done some investigating try Preferences>Desktop Settings click on Windows check "Don't show window content while dragging". It worked for me.

***EDIT****

Above does remove windows animations but produces another animation whem moing windows around; it's not a fix. The fix is to use the configuartion editor.

Menu >System Tools> Configuration Editor***>

or

alt F2 type in mateconf-editor

then click desktop> mate> interface uncheck enable_animations.

That should work it works on my system LM 13 MATE.


***No need to install gconf editor as Mate comes with the mateconf-editor.
