A note on the new smooth option

With the new smooth option enabled the animation will be affected by the fps on the user’s PC, so be careful. Higher fps, higher speed, lower fps, lower speed ⚠️.
Some examples:
– with a fpsLimit of 60 the animation will be twice faster on 120 fps devices
– with a fpsLimit of 120 the animation will be twice slower on 60 fps devices
The animation will be always smooth, but the behavior could be affected by the user screen refresh rate.
It’s recommended to keep this disabled, be careful enabling this.
