** Description changed: + [Impact] + When unity is in Low graphics mode (because of software rendering) there are still window animations and fade effects which we should get rid of. + + + [Test case] + + This should apply naturally to a (virtual-)machine with no hardware + acceleration or There are multiple ways to force low-gfx mode: + + 1) Add an upstart job such as: + + cat << EOF > ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf + start on starting unity7 + + pre-start script + #initctl set-env --global UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1 + initctl set-env --global LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 + end script + EOF + + + 2) Run unity with: + COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx + + On login unity should use opaque views (dash, switcher, launcher, + shortcut-dialogs) with no fading and reduced effects. Windows should + also use smaller shadows. + + + [Regression potential] + + Some settings from unity-control-center couldn't be applied to normal + profile. Low graphics mode might be used as normal one.
