Is anybody having any luck with this program?

I only wrote it this afternoon, but so far it seems to be working fine and is auto-resizing all windows (only small bug is when you try to leave the table, the dialog box where party asks "do you really want" to leave auto resizes by accident - this is caused by the way I detect party windows via the "Table " prefix in the title - easy to fix later...).

I have had it running for about 2 hours 10 tabling (in 1024x768) with both 'Multi-table-helper' (by orca) and with PlayerView [with a custom mini overlay layout] at the same time (I dont have PAH, but I guess I should get from reviews... can anyone test it with PAH to see it works ok?).

One thing that may help peeps trying the beta, is that in the process of today I worked out that this beta is basically 'blitting' a layer or layers of the original party window (blitting is basically moving around bitmaps/images in memory...), but I THINK it is using raw GDI windows code for this (no harware aceleration); meaning that there is alot of bitmaps being moved about.

For ME, simply using 16bit colour rather than 32bit colour has significantly improved the performance of party beta. It now is using about 1/2 the CPU time it was before, as I guess now it is blitting 16bpp rather than 32bpp. Possibly this could help others gain a performance increase too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
