I was wondering if any one could let me know if we can switch of eye candy and transitions in maemo 5? Something like disabling aero on windows 7. When windows vista came the multi window cycling effects were awesome to show someone... but in reality i never used it even once!
Similarly i would want to disable it unless i show how cool the IT is some iphone guy .

No, although someone (Mer?) could produce this after tuning Hildon. However, I haven't felt the urge to disable any visual effects in Maemo 5. And I'm a Linux user that has tried and disabled many graphical effects in the desktop.

I think the Maemo 5 UI has the appropriate level of graphical effects in order to help you interact with the system. No bling festival just because.

I'm uploading now transitioncontrol to extras. It does support tuning all the transitions. You can also just disable all of them with it if you want.

Upload successful. Installing now to test.

One thing I've learned is that one man's "bling festival just because" is another man's "appropriate level of graphical effects". And some people just like over-the-top graphics. I personally tried the rotating cube thing in Compiz for two hours and then turned it off. I actually find Ubuntu's and OSX's default level of transitions to be annoying.

I really like the idea of konttori's transitioncontrol app. I hope it can be put into Settings, and you can do a one-touch transition disable / enable, and maybe even have ways to save different transition sets.

Even better, transition sets should be part of the theme! Because sometimes you just want "bling festival". Especially if you're trying to show off to an iPhone friend

Yes. It's cool. Although, I altered my setting so much that I had to reflash because everything was crazy/weird by the time I was finished. A useful function might be "Restore Defaults."

The N900 effects look to be subtle and sophisticated. However, i may end up turning them off or speeding them up to the point you can hardly tell. Sometimes, especially with a phone, the quicker i can get through the screens the better.
