Mac OS X has dialog boxes that are displayed as an animated panel (named ‘sheets’) that emerges from the window’s title bar. The most popular sheet would be the ‘Save As’-box. It is possible to speed up the ‘sheet’ animation in the native Mac (Cocoa) applications.
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSWindowResizeTime .1
.1 is the time of the animation, default time is .2 seconds. To make the sheets instantly visible use the value .001
Reboot your mac, to make changes affect.
Restore to the .2 seconds animation:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSWindowResizeTime .5
I suspect the .5 is a typo and should be .2 to revert to the defaults? Great web site! Mahalo
