SUMMARY

It would be nice to be able to turn off the moving bars, since I've noticed that on my lower end systems they take up a noticeable amount of CPU usage in idle. Not only does this feel wasteful and may I assume slightly affect the top speed once other apps try to do something useful in parallel, but it also seems like a slight accessibility issue since some people have a bit of trouble with the constant movement. That would usually include me too, but I hide it behind other windows most of the time which makes it easier to deal with. (I realize I could just close it, but during a work day I need to access it a lot, so it becomes a bit of a roadblock to constantly reopen it.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Open up "keysmith"
2. Unlock the vault to be able to access the codes
3. Try to find some way to stop the constantly slowly moving green bars, without closing the entire thing or locking it again (which would require a somewhat significant time to unlock it again once you actually need it)

OBSERVED RESULT

Doesn't seem to be possible to disable the moving bars.

EXPECTED RESULT

It would be nice if it was possible to disable the moving bars. If a service ends up rejecting the generated code because I end up having the worst luck, I can just try again.
