Disable Or Adjust Progress Bar Animation

Hi Marcus,

Is there a way to disable the Progress Bar animation or change its speed?

I have tried adjusting the MarqueeInterval to 0, 1 & 60000 (60 seconds in milliseconds), however none had made any change?

Is this a limitation, if so then what is the MarqueeInterval used for?

Hi Cyber,
I just figured out what's causing the animation. It has nothing to do with Macro Scheduler...it's a Windows setting.

Go to your Control Panel
System
Advanced system settings
Advanced tab
Click the settings button under performance
Uncheck ''Animate controls and elements inside windows''
Click Apply

Hi Rain,

Thanks for that, that is exactly what I was after. I was surprised that MS didn't have this option as part of the dialog. And considering the MarqueeInterval option.

Will do some further testing, but you have pointed me in the best option I believe.

Also just found out, not needed, as the machine its running on is a windows xp machine. But thanks for the knowledge.
