Last night i raped the calfrc file which is responsible for the GTK styling of the application. Apart from the fact that I removed nearly 700 lines of code there was a massive speedup in opening/using a plug-in window because of some simplifications and the removal of most of the pixmap engine commands: Over the last days I added a couple of custom widgets which draw themselves via Cairo now making the use of pixmap engine unneccessary. The only widgets left are the buttons used in the rack. Widgets I already migrated to Cairo are GtkFrame, GtkHScale, GtkVScale, GtkNotebook and GtkComboBox. Since these changes all plug-in windows open in a blink and use less CPU while open.

Thank you very much!! You're doing an essential job for the development of open source software! The following points aren't meant as dogmas but as a clue, decide for yourself what you think could be useful in troubleshooting.
- Please...
- ...state name and version of your operating system / desktop environment
- ...state the version of the program you're using
- ...be detailed in what is happening and what you expected to happen
- ...try to provide some deeper information (like xplanetFX logs or the output of the program when started in a terminal window)
- ...speak to me as a human being, don't think I'm a bot.
Herzlichen Dank!! Fehlerberichte sind essentiell für die Entwicklung von Open-Source-Software! Die folgenden Punkte sind keine Dogmen, sondern sollen eher Anhaltspunkte darstellen; entscheide selbst, ob sie für die Fehlersuche hilfreich sein könnten.
- Bitte...
- ...nenne den Namen und die Version Deines Betriebssystems / Deiner Desktopumgebung
- ...nenne die Version des von Dir benutzten Programms
- ...beschreibe möglichst genau, was passiert und was Du erwartest, was passieren sollte
- ...stelle möglichst tiefergehende Informationen zur Verfügung (xplanetFX Logs oder die Ausgabe des Programms im Terminalfenster)
- ...sprich mit mir, wie mit einem Menschen, ich bin kein Automat.
