How did you disable animations? From the slack tweaks window?

[chrisob55]

Hi @mallowigi Yes it was through the Slack tweaks window. Toggling on/off doesn't seem to do anything

[mallowigi]

That's because this setting window actually controls the settings that appear in the title bar. You have to click on the corresponding icon to toggle them.

Can repro.

• Load slack with modifications (I'm using the darker theme for instance)
• Disable animations by clicking the '@' symbol at the top of the window.
• Switch to a different "tab" (i.e. DMs)
• Switch back
• Animations are enabled again

[mallowigi]

It's a different issue. It's a general issue with the new "tabs". You can see that switching to DMs or Activity for example also switches the theme, the font etc.

I have yet to find the cause of this. But if you stay on the Home tab, switching off the animations should work.

Oh okay gotcha
