Tip: Disable the window opening animation in Lion

I personally like the animations that Apple has introduced, but it is true that this one in particular can be a bit annoying for some users.

If you want disable it the thing is very simple and it is, how could it be otherwise, via Terminal:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO

And if you want to re-enable it:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool YES

Keep in mind that you have to restart the apps -or the system if you want to do it faster- for the changes to be effective.
