Should we make a petition or what, to introduce this flag for disabling animations completely? I had to enable the Hardware acceleration otherwise embedded videos are choppy.

I haven't seen anything in the settings menu to disable the start up sound, and some of the solutions I have found in other Opera forums look like they are outdated. It might be worth starting a new thread if the issue persists after the next update though.

I not sure what you ended up doing to disable the feature, but I found a few solutions on reddit that might work in case you're interested:

Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/14hoo1b/disable_startup_sound_on_opera_one/

Thank You
This feature was so annoying. Now I wish to switch off the start-up sound when a new installation is done or starting opera...
I disabled it for this installation, but I wonder what the next update will do...

But a older one without Reduce animation option. So I was searching for that solution about an hour. Thanks alot for the Thread opener and Devs who listen.

Switching just work areas without that animation is so nice!

I still get the vertical shutter effect when I switch workspaces, unless I turn hardware acceleration off.

Disabling it to turn off annoying animations is a workaround, not a solution.

Anyway, I've just updated to version 101.0.4843.25 and official option called Reduce animations has been added.

Unfortunately, there's no setting like this in non-GX opera.

Still, I don't want to disable hw acceleration but definitely want to disable ALL animations in opera.

How do I disable them in an easy and comfortable way?

I've used that option now, and it didn't actually stop the animation when changing between workspaces, so I've had to go back to disabling Hardware Acceleration. It was worth a try though.

They're nice in certain websites, like portfolios and that's pretty much it.
No other software (or webpages) designed for actual work has any animations - for good reasons. They are distracting and waste your time.
And workspaces has word "work" right there! 🙂

Search for the 'hardware acceleartion' in advanced settings and turn it off. Upon restarting Opera, thos annoying animations are gone. I don't know what else this option does, so probably there is some minor performance loss, but for the time being this can help.

Each time I switched workspaces - when trying to reference some text for a piece I was working - my brain kept forgetting what I was trying to do because the visual distraction of the animations was too much. I feel like I'm less productive since installing OperaOneDev yesterday.

I would really love to know how to disable it - the difference is such a strong impact that it might be the one thing that'll force me to switch back to regular Opera.
