I have been able to uses the SystemParametersInfo function (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... s.85).aspx) to remove some animations her and there in the windows desktop, and pretty much got the same results at the above picture.
However i cant rseme to finde the function to remove the animations effect in the toolbar. The effect from advanced settings are highlighted below with a red arrow.

They can be changed via the registry RegWrite
I found a list of said keys here: https://www.sevenforums.com/customizati ... mmand.html

To apply said settings after changes use SHChangeNotify with SHCNE_ALLEVENTS, atleast in theory.
use this instead to apply setting changes SendMessage, 0x1A,,,, ahk_id 0xFFFF.

you can write the values and set them back after your done, doesn't have to be permanent.
Take a look at SystemParametersInfo, this seems to to be the proper way (outside the registry).

That the one I used to remove all the other annoying animations but i cant find anything about the task-bar animations

Code: Select all

WinAnimate(newMinAnimate)
	{
	szANIMATIONINFO := 8 
	VarSetCapacity(ANIMATIONINFO, szANIMATIONINFO) 
	NumPut(szANIMATIONINFO, ANIMATIONINFO,, "UInt") 
	NumPut(newMinAnimate, ANIMATIONINFO, 4, "Int") 
	DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", "UInt", 0x0049, "UInt", szANIMATIONINFO, "Ptr", &ANIMATIONINFO, "UInt", 0x00)	
	}

MenuAnimate(newMenuAnimate)
	{
	DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", "UInt", 0x1003, "Uint", 0, "Char", newMenuAnimate, "UInt", 0x00)
	}

MenuDelay(newMenuDelay)
	{
	DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", "UInt", 0x006B, "UInt", NewMenuDelay, "Ptr", 0, "UInt", 0x00)
	}

ComboAnimate(newComboAnimate)
	{
	DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", "UInt", 0x1005, "Uint", 0, "Char", newComboAnimate, "UInt", 0x00)
	}

ToolTipAnimate(newToolTipAnimate)
	{
	DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", "UInt", 0x1017, "Uint", 0, "Char", newToolTipAnimate, "UInt", 0x00)
	}

All that settings window does is edit the registry settings, so that may be the only way to do it.
