Since I lack an even basic understanding of the technical details of what you are doing this mind sound stupid, but...
Could you please change the insert entry animation?
It seems to me, that in the former Stackz the "animation", which is used to bring up the Stacks Logo when starting the program was similiar to the "animation" that creates the effect of inserting an entry from the dictionary into a stack, correct?
The problem is, that one of my computers (Intel Core Duo 1+Ghz) has problems desplaying this kind of animation. It becames awkwardly slow, which is of course unnoying when inserting entries, then taking several seconds instead of an instant.
As far as I can tell this "animation" has been altered in the new Stackz. Since here at least the Logo starts up in normal speed on the problematic computer.
As for the insertion of new entries, if there is any possibilty could you please change the way of animating that, too?! :)
Sorry to bring this up here, but I did not know where a request like this belongs. ???
Thank You
It's a Vista thing as far as I can tell...
drawing/removing a rectangle with this technique is just utterly slow with vista - if you open Stackz 2006 on Vista the start screen animation is too slow so I had to change it. Agreed, the other animation you mentioned with the same technique needs a change too before the final release.
I made a change, it will be faster in the next release.
