Animation settings for RDP session only
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, in Telegram Desktop it is not possible to set animation settings specific to RDP or console session. There are only global settings for the current OS user.
If you do not disable interface animations, UI lags occur when network bandwidth is low. See https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/1184#issuecomment-149317695
I like this animation in console session, but I don't like this in RDP...
Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest replacing one ON/OFF switch with two (console session / RDP session).
For users who have never launched Telegram Desktop in an RDP session, you can still display one ON/OFF switch.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative solution is to completely disable animation (in the console session and RDP at the same time)

Just wanna toss two ideas out for consideration on this issue. Perhaps settings profiles that can be switched on the fly, either in the UI and or by CLI. This is appealing in that it could be useful for more things, like switching between "day" and "night" as an example. Or various use preferences. Alternatively maybe CLI options that would allow you to disable animations? Then you could just save scripts/shortcuts that would allow you to relaunch quickly and switch between methods you like.

This is a good idea when the application is running in an environment that does not have information about the rendering method (VM, sandbox, ...). Also useful for X servers (linux).

If Telegram automatically starts when you log into Windows, then in this case, instead of Telegram, you will need to place a script for determining the environment and launching Telegram Desktop with the necessary parameters into startup.
I'm highly doubt that all these complications are appreciated, I guess the only realistic way is to ask the system about whether animations are generally appreciated right now with QApplication::isEffectEnabled(Qt::UI_General) and that's all. So now new obscure cli switches and no new UI elements would be needed. Although I guess there's no plan to implement such kind of feature request at all.
