I like the idea of a warning notification if you take the sliders above a certain distance plus you could even have the warning connected to the graphics levels.
e.g.: low -> above 94m mid -> above 188m high -> above 512m ultra -> above 1024m these are just examples. Also instead of just saying system you could say viewer/system as sometimes you can affect viewer performance without affecting system performance. > -----Original Message----- > From: opensource-dev-boun...@lists.secondlife.com [mailto:opensource-dev- > boun...@lists.secondlife.com] On Behalf Of Jonathan Welch > Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2011 7:09 PM > Cc: opensource-dev@lists.secondlife.com > Subject: Re: [opensource-dev] Review viewer -- draw distance slider > > While testing the updated graphic I've been looking at the cautionary > wording on the slider and am not happy with it.
