I wish to turn off all animations in macOS. I'm following the steps provided in the answers to https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/14001/how-to-turn-off-all-animations-on-os-x .
I wish to turn off animations on my MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 (17D102), but they don't appear to be working. I see no error message or any other message when I run the commands in the terminal. I tried logging out and logging back in but to no effect. How do I troubleshoot this or otherwise find a way to turn off as many animations as possible?
Note: I tried these 4 commands provided in the [accepted answer]( https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/63477/215068) to https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/14001/215068 :
# opening and closing windows and popovers
defaults write -g NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool false
# smooth scrolling
defaults write -g NSScrollAnimationEnabled -bool false
# showing and hiding sheets, resizing preference windows, zooming windows
# float 0 doesn't work
defaults write -g NSWindowResizeTime -float 0.001
# opening and closing Quick Look windows
defaults write -g QLPanelAnimationDuration -float 0
