The animation has the functional purpose of giving feedback to the user that the app is being loaded in the background, the same way a loading bar tells the user operations are still happening. Without it, if the user clicks on something and it doesn't open right away, they won Would a more common busy cursor spinner be a better option in your opinion? (You can see what it would look like in System Settings > Appearance > Cursors > Second cursor from the ones shown) A toggle to disable the animation is not ideal since it allows the user to remove important feedback about the state of the system, making the UX worse. However, if the current animation is not ideal, then it can be included temporarily until that issue is resolved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
