Big thanks to rooted and his modified transitions.ini - so much better. Anyone thinking about this mod should go for it. just copy the transition.ini over the one in /usr/share/hildon-desktop/ and restart... it makes the phone instant to touching when changing menus and opening/closing programs. Faster is certainly better than the slow eye-candy provided. I'm going to add an enhancement comment to 'transition control' in devel that it should include pre-fixes to perform the functions of these varios transactions.ini files. update: not sure how to add a note to http://maemo.org/packages/view/transitioncontrol/ and i can't find the project on the garage. little help anyone?
