For me, dragging is pretty snappy once the cache has been created. However, that doesn't happen till you actually move the window (ie. after 5 pixels or so of mouse movement while holding down). Did a small experiment moving cache updating to mouseUp/Down events instead, felt snappier to me at least. Bad thing is, I had to introduce things like: - A setter for the cache. - Direct manipulation of hand in SystemWindow mouseDown (at least I didn't cross that boundry first :) ) Attached a changeset (based on 243core with PolyMorph-Widgets-gvc.52 merged in) you can try, and merge in if you feel the gain worth the nastiness. Otherwise feel free to reimplement in a better way :) Cheers, Henry Gary Chambers skrev:
Latest Polymorph has theme-handled drop shadow support when carried by hand.
Doesn't help grabbing faster since for the cached form it needs to draw the window on the cached form and also redraw the world without the window as a submorph. Dragging more complex windows will always be slower to initially respond, unfortunately.

If this would help grabbing and dragging windows faster, I would use it.

For that, I would ask "is it worth it?" How many users are just going to turn on the fastDragWindowForMorphic preference anyway?!
For some reason that little delay when you grab a window to move it always prompts me to do so!
Just my thought on the matter...
Take care,
Rob

Yeah, the ordinary drop shadow was quite simple to implement. Hand-grabbed drop shadows are altogether much nastier! Not impossible but would require some evil hacking.

Gary,
Watery2 looks better and better :-) Great!
One question regarding the shadow: Now the active window has a translucent shadow (like macos), very nice.
But it's turned off and replaced with the hard non-translucend Morphic shadow while moving the window. Would it be possible to render the same shadow, even wen picking up windows? This would result in a much smoother apperance, and I think it even would feel faster.
Good luck with that.. For shadow when picking up responds the hand
morph..
There is quite sophisticated logic which caching the morph
appearance
when its in hand.. along with shadow. I tried to reproduce this effect on my GLCanvas, but found it impossible to do without support of render buffers extension :)
