Seems I was beaten to it, long ago. For more information on framerates, etc., check http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43964 .

I've been messing around with transitions.ini again, and I'd figured I should try this. It looks pretty nice now. This removes blurring around drop-down dialogs, long-press/right-click menus, banners, etc.



(Video will be up in a bit. Seems YouTube can be a bit finicky... Watch in 1080p! See my note about my videos at the bottom as well.)

Changing these values shouldn't leave your device in need of a reflash, but whatever happens, I'm not responsible for it.

--Removing Blur--
The options are under [home]. Your transitions.ini may look different. They're all the same values, and that's what matters.

Explanations (all values are variable, meaning a scale from 0-1, they're not yes/no switches):

Saturation: Controls the color. 1 = Full Color, 0 = Black and White

Brightness: Controls the "brightness." This is a visual effect, it doesn't control the backlight. 1 = Full Brightness, 0 = Black.

Zoom: Creates a slight zoom effect. Best used with blur. 1 = No Zoom, 0 = Max Zoom.

Radius: The amount of blur to apply on the first dialog. 0 = No Blur, 1 = Max Blur.

Radius_More: The amount of extra blur to apply on extra dialogs that appear. 0 = No blur, 1 = Max blur.

Zoom_Applets: Haven't played much with this. I'm assuming it's the same as Zoom, but with the home screen widgets. 0 = No Zoom, 1 = Max Zoom. (Correct me if I'm wrong with this one.)

Somehow I've also managed to make the home screen fly in/out. I don't quite remember what I did, and I don't have time to check (summer school), but I think it might have something to do with setting all the "launcher out sequenced" to 1.

Note: Some people have told me that they encountered frame-stops in the "All" folder of Catorise.

Can anyone confirm with other menu styles?

Anyhow, I've also attached my transitions.ini file. Rename it from transitions.txt to transitions.ini and put it in Documents. (.documents)

All commands below are intended to be back-to-back. Don't press enter between typing the two file paths.

This creates a backup of your current transitions.ini called transitions.bak in Documents.

Then, copy the new one in.

If at any time you want to restore your original transitions.ini, use

Note about my videos (UnleashTehNoob).

I was about a few episodes in with the "Maemo Browser Wars" series when I realized how dry the videos actually were.

Same thing with "transitions.ini explained." I couldn't really produce anything worth watching.

In other words, I've pretty much lost interest in making videos regularly. I'll still be making videos on the occasion that I find something new, though.
