        if i remember correct there is also a possibility to increase performance of transformations, but I’m not sure. Have to research on this

        EDIT: I can’t do any testing for a while, if someone wants to get a hand on it I think this should make an effect as it will optimize the rendering from cpu usage to gpu. It’s still a new stuff though and I’m not sure if it is supported in electron yet.

        .MODULENAME {
          will-change: opacity;
        }
        

        replace modulename with the actual module name

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          My hardware = BCM2709

          I do NOT have this problem

          I’ve long suspected that this was/is a hardware issue. Why? I’ve done nothing special or different to my Pi 3 (except for adding a fan), yet it runs flawlessly, smoothly, and without the cpu overload experienced by a few select users. Assuming they have done nothing out of the ordinary (most have done fresh installs of the OS and default install of MM) yet their Pi 3’s exhibit inordinate amounts of cpu load at rest and extreme cpu load with just a simple function like the compliments changing.

          @strawberry-3-141 There’s no need for me to try your suggestion but perhaps someone experiencing this problem will test it and report back their findings.

            Ill hook up my PI in a sec and test it. I am supposed to put that line of code in the main.css file right? (Just to be sure)

                Sad to report; Didn’t seem to solve the problem. YET, It almost seemed like the fade out animation was a tiny bit smoother, can’t say it for sure tho.

                  @TiemenMoesker bugger, also when you increase gpu memory to a higher level than 64mb default

                  Also it could still be unsupported in electron or it has to be taken to another element…

                      @TiemenMoesker maybe also @Jeff could have a look after his holidays as he is quiet familiar with css and he could check if the stuff I mentioned is valid

                        I don’t even remember changing this to 96, but it’s been like that since January, and no issues.
