Gnome-Shell Animation Speed Control

Found a neat Gnome-Shell extension based upon this hack

You can check it out from git:

git clone https://github.com/bboozzoo/gnome-shell-extension-animation-speed-control.git

Then do the following:

cp -r animation-speed-control@bboozzoo.gmail.com into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

mv org.gnome.shell.extensions.animation-speed-control.gschema.xml to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Run as root:

glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Enable extension using gnome-tweak-tool

Usage:

By default the animation speed is unchanged, the slow down in Shell toolkit (St) is set to 1.0 (default speed).

To increase the animation speed (i.e. apply inverse slowdown), set the speed value to less than default 1.0.

For example, to have the animations run at double speed, run:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.animation-speed-control speed 0.5

For animations to be twice longer:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.animation-speed-control speed 2

For almost ‘instant’ animations:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.animation-speed-control speed 0.001

NOTE: running glib-compile-schemas resulted in this error message

warning: undefined reference to
 warning: undefined reference to

 warning: undefined reference to

This is because of a bug in glabels.

You can fix it manually by doing this

gksudo gedit org.gnome.glabels-3.gschema.xml

and changing reference to glabels in lines 6-9 to glabels-3
