Did you know... You can speed up or slow down how fast a tool window slides to a from a docked position? - #114

On the Tools - Options - Environment - General page, you'll find an animate environment tools slider.  This option controls the speed at which a tool window will slide in and out of an auto-hide state.

Animate Environment Tools

Additionally, you can opt-out completely from the animation effect by unchecking the animate environment tools checkbox.  Now, tool windows will pop to their new locations rather than sliding to it.

Since today is a holiday, I've decided to draw a snowman for everyone.  Now you have to remember that I'm from the New Orleans area, and I've seen snow about 4 times in my life (with the exception of last winter's snow storms in seattle).  I have no idea how to draw a snowflake, so i tried a variation of a # symbol and a star.

Excellent.  Turning it off completely makes the responsiveness palatable.

This is a really cool and productive tip.

I thought that animation was because of IDE running slowly.

I missed the quick response which was available in VB6 IDE.

now that quick response is back with this tip

thanks.
