Disable all effects and graphicly intense tooltips?

Hello.

I am usually connected to my desktop at home using NX.

Now, with NX being great and all, performance is wonderful.
Menus load fast, windows resizing (which usually is a break point) is alright too.

The only thing that makes the connection buckle quite a bit, are some effects, such as this "fade-in" tooltip when you hover anything:

This also goes for the "splash effect" when you click on icons.

How can i turn this (and any other effect that may or may not influence my situation for the bad) off? (couldn't find it in the system settings).

Thank you in advance.

RE: Disable all effects and graphicly intense tooltips?

Dear friend,

I can see that you use KDE 3.x.

The setting for that annoying balloon is in the Configure Desktop application for the KDE. In the "Desktop" list you can find the "Panels" item. Clicking on that makes the possible configuration settings for the panels to appear. Click on the "Appearance" tab and disable the "Enable icon mouseover effects" checkbox in the "General" group. By applying the new settings there will be no more balloons when your mouse cursor stans on an icon on the panel. Unfortunatelly I cannot add a screenshot to help you more because the file is 71Kb.

For the splash effect of the icons when you click on them I cannot find something to disable it.

Be well.
Elias
