In Lion there is an animation when switching to and from full screen applications. Full screen apps are great, especially on a 11" screen, but this animation is getting very annoying. Is there a way to turn off these animations?

2Can we reopen the question now that it's officially out? – daaku Jul 20 '11 at 21:29

We are not re-opening Lion questions that were asked before the official release. – Philip Regan Jul 20 '11 at 22:40

Apparently there is re-post prevention logic and it's smart enough to not allow another question with only minor differences. Can you reopen this? – daaku Jul 22 '11 at 00:16

There is, at least, a way to speed them up with a SIMBL bundle: http://www.yllier.net/SUFSA.html

I found SpeedUpFullScreenAnimation on this link. (https://sites.google.com/a/oscvi.com/mrplayter2/uploaded-files) But it doesn't work on Mountain Lion. (Lion is not tested) – useraged Jan 02 '13 at 20:46

No..for now there is no way to turn it off. I also want to turn to the annoying animations when a new window appears.

You can disable the system-wide animation for opening new windows in Lion.

Turn off zooming windows
Open Terminal and type the following:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO
Reboot.

2This will not affect the animation the Dakku is asking about. It only disables a very subtle animation that occurs when a new window is opened.
It also does not require a reboot to take effect. Simply run the command like this:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO; killall Dock
