Feature request: disable animations in webui

[iridial]

When I have many active torrents all these animations take up a lot of compute power, my laptop cpu utilization spikes until I close or change tab.

It would help a lot if there was a way to disable the animations globally in the webui.

I agree that an active torrent should have a different progress bar, but maybe a change of background color is enough.
An alternative could be a blinking dot gif before or after the percentage or something more cpu friendly :)

Those animations are entirely on gpu, cpu is barely doing anything there. I will add a toggle to disable them.

In the meantime if you make the Done column smaller or move it out of the view to the right it will reduce the load significantly.

thank you!
idk why but firefox uses my cpu instead of the gpu..
either way a "low spec mode" toggle would be a very useful feature to have 👍

@qu1ck I'd rather make actively seeding torrents a totally different color (green) when they seed so they won't need an animation at all, using the work already happening in #82

@iridial there is an effort to make all the official Transmission UIs use the Mac progressbar colors, so this means that the progressbar for an actively seeding torrent will become green, which is also happening on the above PR for this project. I think this an easy, straightforward, much more obvious and most importantly to you, low-CPU way to show you when a torrent is seeding. I think your issue will be completely solved by removing the animation altogether and simply using the PR above to have progressbars that change color according to what the torrent is doing. What do you think?

What do you think?

fine by me! the other green on the page is #37b24d, so maybe that one can be used.
