Problem

In Snow Leopard, I had the window switch animation disabled when I quick-key between spaces. Now that it's Mission Control in Lion, there's a long animation during which all my desktop icons disappear and I can't use anything. I'd really like to disable this, but the old fix doesn't appear to work. How can I disable this needless animation in OS X Lion or later?

Fix for: How do you disable the window switch animation when switching spaces with Mission Control?

Low Risk

You can disable the animations with TotalSpaces (born ReSpaceApp). Just uncheck the Use transitions checkbox in TotalSpaces preferences. Total Spaces integrates with Mission Control's multiple desktop system and adds extensive customisation, including disabling animations or adjusting the speed. It's compatible with OS X 10.10 but requires disabling System Integrity Protection on OS X 10.11.
