By smooth, I meant the end-users (developers using Qt) did not notice anything different from there perspective. Re-reading the Qt blog on the subject, they do mention there was some "black magic" involved from their side - but again ensuring the end-user wouldn't notice anything different. http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2007/08/09/qt-invaded-by-aliens-the-end-of-all-flicker/ Looking at their first video clip though, I still have questions about why those widgets moved so much or momentarily disappear. I have never seen such bad "flicker" in fpGUI. Though X11's resizing performance (with or without compiz) is atrocious. The worst I've seen on any platform ever. Some days I still have mixed feeling about the move I made from "single window handle per form" to "window handle per widget". At the time I was very new to X11 and GDI, and the original fpGUI code. Oh well, what's done is done. :) > I suspect that their experience with Qt embedded (working on the > framebuffer) would have helped. Probably so, because there they would have had to introduce the whole window handling and event system themselves. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
