It's a matter of effort. This change seems to be too much simpler compared to performance one. If the problems for performance were easy it would have been already fixed.

Just changing the Polymorph theme would do it I guess.

+1 for getting perfomance better.
Janko seems to have run into the unfortunate, apparently temporary,
sluggishness before image save.
I have noticed, however, that the input event fetcher does take up quite a
bit of relative cpu, if you believe the process browser (open process broser
and start CPU watcher/auto-update).

Perhaps we need a "first start on new platform" kind of thing to select the
default theme. Would be annoying to revert the user's chosen theme each
startup...

Just a few thoughts.

Regards, Gary

default theme. Would be annoying to revert the user's chosen theme each
startup...

For me it has no sense to make different themes for different platform. What I would do, at least in this case, is to make the part of the theme that shows the windows control, platform dependent (like swapMouseButtons).

 

Just a few thoughts.

It is entirely possible... Personally I'd like to hold off introducing any more preferences until we've all migrated to settings...

Re: Experiences with 10342

Schwab,Wilhelm K
In reply to this post by Gary Chambers-4
Gary,

I think the correct answer is to have "meta theme" that does the expected thing on each platform.  If that is the selected theme, then it notes the platform and tries to adapt, but it still allows a user to choose a specific theme for performance, personal preference, etc.
