The default timing set by paper ripple animation 0.8s makes the transition seem slower. Tried changing the value via :
<paper-ripple opacityDecayVelocity ="1.0"></paper-ripple>
Adding $ as its an attribute
<paper-ripple opacityDecayVelocity$ ="1.0"></paper-ripple>
None seems to work. Please suggest a way to configure the attribute value.
The attribute name should be
opacity-decay-velocitySee Polymer Properties
