Ah, ok. Well, it works great and performance is very usable, so good job regardless. I think it might be worth keeping in a setting to enable antialiasing, even if the performance is poor. Its no good for actually doing layout, but I will often use it to make a 'prettified' screen shot or similar of a board. Unless I'm the only person who does that, then it's probably not worth your time hehe.
I agree about OpenGL. I'll just have to be patient. And its really not that important, its just easy on the eyes (antialiasing). > On Dec 11, 2016, at 1:48 PM, Tomasz Wlostowski <[email protected]> > wrote: > > On 09.12.2016 21:50, metacollin wrote: >> I just cloned the branch and I can confirm it compiles and runs without >> issue on macOS. >> >> However, there *might* be some issues.
