Youness answered, you must have missed it :) What the new contactlist
does is this: when something changes on the CL, the rest of the
content
is just moved to adjust to the change, instead of deleting everything
and re-drawing it. So if you expand/collapse a group, the
groups/contacts below are moved down/up as needed.
oh, thanks... anyway it's slow :P
The new one? Yeah I know, I'm gonna be working on how to optimise it...
one fo the main reasons (I think) is the scalable-bg's used in it, I
want to scrap scalable-bg and use the thing tile uses which is written
in C, it does exactly the same thing... Youness/Phil/Anyone, is this
possible?
Tom... I think it's possible, they do have pixmap themes support.. but I'm
not too sure of how much it is possible to work with... I think it only
applies to tile widgets, like buttons or labels, or whatever... you should
probably ask Tile's team about that...
also, do we want to depend on Tile ?
I want to make sure you are talking about the same thing. I think that
LZ is
talking about the old contact list with the enhancements the Youness
made.
Tom is talking about the new contact list which he is making which is in
cvs
but hasn't been 'released' yet.
I think LZ asked about the new CL and they did understand each other :)
Also LZ there is a much better way to test if images are currently being
used however we discussed it before and decided not to unload images and
just keep them in memory.
I think we should (after testing it's not too cpu intensive) do a
"::skin::clearUnusedImages" after a chatwindow close... and it should be
like this :
proc clearUnusedImages { } {
foreach img [image names] {
if { ![image inuse $img] } {
image delete $img
unset ::skin::load_images($img) ; # or whatever
}
}
}
hum.. just tested, and I think if it's done enough times, it shouldn't be
that cpu intensive.. problem is that it will force us to load/unload many
images, example, all the images used by the scrollbar, the hover/unhover,
the through bar, etc.. all those will not be 'in use', but will still be
needed very soon... anyways, I suggest we go with this!
Finally LZ you said that the settings that I changed didn't make any
difference to you cpu are you sure? Make sure you have latest cvs (that
included my changes from this morning), then go to the status log and
type
these 2 lines:
::skin::setKey changecursor_contact 0
::skin::setKey changecursor_group 0
Then make sure the contact list is updated, easiest way to do that is to
change your current state, then move the mouse over the contacts (not the
top section) the cpu usage should not go up (you should also notice no
underlining and no mouse changes - the settings that you temporarily
turned
off, if you see underlining and/or mouse changes, from hand to arrow and
back, then you are doing something wrong - or there is a bug).
