Subject: xscreensaver: request for different compilation of bubbles3d

Date: Mon, 07 Oct 2002 12:06:57 -0300

Package: xscreensaver
Version: 4.05-9
Severity: wishlist

bubbles3d has a couple of compile-time options that make it much nicer
if you happen to have dri working. I'm not suggesting you do this by
default, but could you provide some means of getting this enhanced
bubbles3d?

The options, in bubble3d.h, are GLB_SLOW_GL (should be set to 0), and
GLB_USE_BLENDING (should be set to 1).

Thanks for your time.

In upstream 4.20, the options in bubble3d.h are already as follows:
GLB_SLOW_GL (set to 0), and
GLB_USE_BLENDING (set to 0, should be set to 1).

The question here is: if somebody actually USES the xscreensaver-gl
package, do they expect the extra eyecandy? 

Will users with a humble MesaGL implementation complain, because that way
bubble3d will become much slower? 

Or does everybody use a hardware accelerated card anyway?

For 4.22, I've added a -transparent arg to bubbles (there's no reason
for GLB_USE_BLENDING to have been a compile-time-option.)

However, that mode looks pretty crappy anyway.  It makes the bubbles not
look 3d at all, and the specular reflections go away.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Version: 4.22

This is not needed since in 4.22 was implemented the -transparent
argument. So this is a non-longer valid request.

Regards,
Jose Luis.
