Hello, just to let you know, the lp:~petr-koupy/helenos/gui-optim branch is prepared for merging into mainline. Among others, it resolves the following tickets:
http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/478 http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/482 http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/483 http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/484 http://trac.helenos.org/ticket/485 For those that are not familiar with the tickets, the main improvements are: - significantly faster rendering (making qemu/non-KVM usable) if user limits himself just to window movement and resizing (i.e. avoiding rotation, scaling and transparency) - preview of the result of window transformation is depicted by a "ghost" frame following the mouse pointer - changing of window focus feels more natural and intuitive (mouse click handler behaves more like in mainstream operating systems, window titles changes color to reflect whether they have focus or not) If you don't have any objections, I will eventually merge the branch into mainline and close the tickets. Right now, I am however unable to properly test the branch with recent mainline changes because of i8042 performance issue that is currently being investigated by Jakub. Therefore, I will probably wait until it is resolved. In case anybody is eager to have the GUI improvements rather sooner than later, and is able to test it in VirtualBox or qemu/KVM without the significantly lagging mouse pointer, feel free to merge it instead of me.
