How to turn off the Ubuntu 13.04 window fade effect

Question

When I minimize an application it is very slow, due to my slow laptop

It's quite frustrating to see it very slowly creep out of view!

So how can I it turned off?

You can do so using the Unity Tweak tool. If you don't have it installed, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

Once installed, search for it in dash, click on it. Once it comes up, click on Window Manager --> General. See image below.

Once the new window open up, click on Animation, and choose None under Minimize. See image below.

Note: You may have to close the applications and open it again for it to work.

For Ubuntu 15.04+, if you get an error about com.canonical.unity.webapps, you'll also need to install unity-webapps-common if you get – zymhan Nov 09 '15 at 16:22
