The options presented here, however, are confusing, e.g. it is unclear what effect may need a "high display resolution". It should be replaced by something that was in KDE3: A slider to enable more effects, with the option to configure effects separately. Also, I was not able to disable all animations, e.g. new ones on the taskbar using this option. 883848 1 andresbajotierra 2009-12-20 23:29:59 +0000 *** Bug 219287 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 957656 2 kde-bugs 2010-05-06 12:00:33 +0000 +1 from me. arcane options like the ones in the dropdown desperately need humand understandable explanations. and, probably like the op, i hat most of those "effects" and prefer to simply disable them -- which _i_ thought, Desktop->Desktop Effects was supposed to do. so, here's another question: how are these two related and why aren't they put together in a "get rid of resource hogging eye candy" section or so? 1038173 3 cfeck 2010-10-28 23:43:34 +0000 *** Bug 255547 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1038175 4 rockonthemoonfm 2010-10-28 23:50:24 +0000 yeah, a check-box to Enable/Disable effects is preferred.. 1205831 5 cfeck 2011-12-28 12:51:42 +0000 *** Bug 290008 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1303344 6 cfeck 2012-10-05 13:28:57 +0000 *** Bug 307892 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1379410 7 rockonthemoonfm 2013-06-25 20:46:19 +0000 will a tiny checkbox make it for 4.11? 1433264 8 ryan.q 2014-02-28 23:29:39 +0000 I was about to file a bug before finding this, is an enable/disable in the works? 1492827 9 kde 2015-01-21 20:29:32 +0000 This combo box got removed in Plasma 5 The confusing entries are therefore gone
