Hi!
Well Sorry.. :-/ but I have bought me a new computer and was offline for
a while.. ..so I wasn't able to write my comments ;)

OK. I think that the fading effects are not very good for accessibity,
but they do improve usuability. Because it's a better feeling to see
something fading out and fading in again, instead of being shocked, in a
way, that a new menu is just popping out in front of your eyes.. ;)

I can share the opinion, that those effects do render very slowly on an
old computer. What do you think of finding a compromise and making the
whole effects configurable in your T3 user settings (this nice module,
where you can select your language, email options and skin options, etc..

Of course this would have to be configurable by TS too.

I could imagine something like "no effects (default)", "fadings" and
some others. Maybe even a randomized menu effects lib..

So well, i think i can now read the other posts in this thread ;)
