Title. Turning off the fancy effects (which can be done with Alt+Shift+F12) improves performance slightly, but having to toggle them on and off every time I start a game is... Y'know. A thing.

I was wondering if there was a way to automate it, like game opens -> they turn off, game process ends -> they turn back on

Lutris can execute scripts before launching game and after closing game. I use this to disable "win" key in games.

Pretty sure "turn off desktop effects" is an actual option in lutris.
