Each application       window is applied as a texture to some simple shapes, so that you can       move the windows around and resize them onscreen very quickly without       slowing down the rendering of each window. I haven't played with the       Expose feature on OS X yet, nor am I hardcore Mac or Be programmer yet,       that's just my understanding from what I've read (in case it helps anyone       to code this).              - Kohan       _____________________________________________________________________              namesuppressed - grunge music, kohan ikin       shareware Photoshop plugins, http://www.namesuppressed.com       opinions and much much more... syneryder@NOSPAM.namesuppressed.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
