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.

Hi! Have you find a way? I just installed MATE and I' m really liking it, but I want to disable that effect as well, I just can' t find the way.

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.

TheDynamicHamza21 thank you very much. It worked fine. This is the solution Thank you all for your help

What about Linux Mint 14? It uses dconf instead of gconf!! What should I edit then
