How to remove Touchbar animations?
On the 2016/2017 MacBook Pro's the Touchbar animations are slow. After a little while I've become used to the keyboard and Touchbar. But the one thing I would like to speed up is the transitions.
Say for instance you are playing music on Spotify while working. They you hit the media button to expand the view for full controls. It only takes a second... but it still takes a whole second. When you know what you want and you can navigate quickly the animation is agonising.
Is there a terminal command to remove Touchbar animations, forcing the new buttons to appear immediately?
Not a solution to the problem, but small tip to quickly change brightness and volume without waiting for full animation to expand or holding fn key to switch to the buttons.
Just quickly swipe across the icon in the direction you wan't to change (to the left - decrease value / to the right - increase)
or
You can tap&hold, and then swipe where you wanted (your finger should ended up being offset from where the knob is). In this case expanding animation will be played, but you save some time not needing to navigate to the knob or buttons
