Topic: MDB Bootstrap Animation is tied to Windows Animation

Sebastian Sauer free asked 2 days ago


*Expected behavior*Animation of MDB Bootstrap work with any windows animation setting.

Actual behavior We detected, that mdb animations do no longer work, when animation setting is turned off in Windows. This affects all browsers and can be quite inconvenient.

Settings > Accessability > Visual Effects > Animation

If turned off, also the sample animations on your webpage will not work.

Only animations seen in the animations document page are not working. All other animations do work normally Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)Animationseffekte Setting in Windows causing the issue



Thank you for your report! MDBootstrap respects system-wide accessibility settings, including the Windows Animation preference (Settings > Accessibility > Visual Effects > Animation). When animations are disabled at the OS level, many browsers honor this setting and prevent CSS-based animations from running.

This behavior is intentional to ensure an accessible experience for users who prefer reduced motion. If animations are required for a specific use case, they can be manually re-enabled via CSS or JavaScript, but we recommend respecting user preferences for accessibility reasons.
