KML option to disable Fade in of Placemark icons

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which products are relevant to this feature request?
Google Earth, Google Earth Plugin

What should this feature enhancement do?

Placemark icons now "fade in" start small, increase in size to larger than the 
static size of the 
icon then settle back to the static size.  They "fade out" when they go out of 
time scope.  I'm 
using color mapped icons to represent a data time series.  The "fading" as the 
icons go in and 
out of time scope makes for an extremely busy display which distracts from the 
purpose of the 
display.  The feature that I'm requesting would disable this animation, 
probably in a style applied 
to a placemark.

Are there any currently known workarounds that produce the same, or
similar, result?

The GE plugin has a new method GEOptions.setFadeInOutEnabled(bool) that 
accomplishes this, 
but does not work in static KML files

I want to be able to use icon scaling to represent magnitude during a time 
series 
representation of wind speed.  The addition of the icon fade-in feature really 
messed this capability up.
