This reminds me how old I am now and how young I was back then. At the time, stuff like this filled me with excitement. Now I look at it and think it's obvious that the annoyance factor and lost performance will vastly outweigh the legitimately cool applications.
It also reminds me that I used to tweak a bunch of settings in OS X to speed up and disable animations, but I gave up years ago because Apple kept breaking them. Now I just use OS X with its default settings and stay away from things like Spaces that insist on cramming animations into my attention. That makes me sad, so I am going to go back to not thinking about it.
- jazzyjackson 8y agoHi I'm a recent convert to OSX and found the animations of 3-finger-swiping between desktops annoying. Recently found the "reduce motion" checkbox in System Preferences > Accessibility and instead of sliding it just does fade-in-place which is way less annoying and I think feels faster because you start to see the other window right away, even if there's a window fading away on top of it. The slide from desktop to desktop feels like I need a split second to orient myself after being spun in a chair.
