Fine, let me put it this way to keep it 100 percent on topic. If FPC was able to create hardware accelerated GUI apps (nothing to do with firemonkey... just in general if it was able to), is this useful? How so? What advantages do hardware accelerated GUI apps offer? The way I see it is 99 percent of all GUI apps are fast enough back in windows 3.1 days or the early days of X11 on bsd/linux. There needs no "acceleration". However, on the other hand: animations, videos, scientific... maybe? If FPC was able to target hardware accelerated GUI (or if it already does) then what advantages would this offer people? There must be some reason for hardware accelerated GUI apps. My buttons click fast enough without any accelerations on Windows 3.1... on a 33mhz computer... But maybe it's to do with flash style animations, video game like interfaces for apps... 3D apps? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
