That the snappy-ness under MS Windows could be because most recent web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE9) are hardware accelerated. No such hardware acceleration exists under Linux. Well, the setting is there in Firefox, but it has no affect (even with AMD's graphics drivers) > But now I am going a bit off topic for mse forums.

The secret is the correct settings. I cover those settings in fpGUI's FAQ text file. https://github.com/graemeg/fpGUI/blob/master/docs/faq.txt Gnome's GUI font settings do not correctly setup xft. I always have to add the ~/.fonts.conf file manually before my fonts look perfect and super crips. > Problem with Windows is all the spyware and virus +1 And the mandatory re-install after 6 months because it for some unknown reason starts running slower and slower. > I don't like that macos has moved to Objective C it seems and ditched > pascal. At least we have Free Pascal and Cocoa and Carbon bindings. So that solves that. :-) I had a look and Objective C too, and didn't like it either. I'm now retraining myself in Java to cover all desktop platforms, and even mobile platforms like Android. MSEide apparently works with a C compiler too (not just FPC). So maybe a Java Compiler could be called too. ;-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
