It's just a jump to the left!

AND THEN A STEP TO THE RIGHT!

Damn you sir, damn you straight to hell - I can't get that damn song out of my head now! :lol:

Isn't it pretty easy to calculate the amount of memory needed for an image? I think 1024x768x24 = 2.5MB. So therefore 4096x3072 x 24 = 100MB. It should give you plenty of room in a lowly 1GB system.

It's 24 bits per pixel, which is 3 bytes. This means it's 1024x768x3 and 4096x3072x3.

Most 24-bit displays are actually 32-bit, since 3 byte alignment is the devil's work. When an 24-bit image is loaded for display purposes it is often converted to a 32-bit representation in which one byte (normally used for alpha channel) is ignored.

Packed pixel modes, where 3 bytes are used to represent a pixel on screen are generally the preserve of old display cards.

I did not make this.  

I did however, laugh at it.

On a serious note, regarding the "slow" speed of UI response, I think stefcep2 has totally overlooked the important point that a lot of it is deliberate.

He might want menus and the like to instantly flicker in and out of view as he's skimming his mouse through them but most ordinary users are disturbed by it. Consequently, delays are built into a lot of UI systems for the benefit of the end user.

As a worked example, gnome is no different. When you access the menus, there is a delay before each sub menu opens. Is this because the design is "sh*t", badly coded and in desperate need of optimization? No.

If you don't believe me, try editing (or creating if it doesn't already exist) your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 configuration file and changing/adding as appropriate the following:

gtk-menu-popup-delay = 0

Then restart gnome...

[Arkhan]

yes.

Kind of like "tool tip delay"

if that crap was just instantly blasting into view every time you mouse over stuff, people would develop epilepsy

Cool ! Some desperately need a tutorial ! :razz:

Of course they are, I know that, but he was talking about 24 bits, not 32
