Completely disable animations when switching between desktops

Problem: I would like to completely disable animations (sliding + fade-in/fade-out) when switching between desktops on macOS.


I've partially solved this problem removing the sliding animation when switching desktops. This is solved by enabling the "Reduce Motion" in System Preferences > Accessibility > Display. However, there is still a very noticeable fade-in/fade-out which is exaggerated - and quite jarring - when trying to move quickly back and forth between desktops.


Is there some way to remove this fade-in/fade-out animation? Are there any commands that I can can use? If there is an apple representative/engineer out there who knows the answer to this question, please (please) let me know!


Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities cbochs,


We understand you're looking to reduce visual effects of the UI in macOS. Locating and enabling Reduce Motion was definitely a great step to take.


Beyond that, we would recommend providing feedback to Apple, they're always interested in hearing about new features and options people want to see.
