So where exactly is the advantage in creating a new interface, when we can use code that has already been written? btw. I am talking about the Widgets. For Preview and Real-Time compositing, I am all for using OpenGL. But this is only necessery for the part of the UI, where the Video Preview is. Buttons are mostly 2D, you know? You don't need a 3D OpenGL Window for them. :-P > > BTW. You can make a fullscreen OpenGL app in Qt and GTK+. > > My god, I hope you never have done this yourself.

Sure I can write my own code to draw Buttons and process mouse events and stuff, but why, this code has already been written, and is well tested. Developer Time is much more expensive than CPU time. _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
