HW Accelerated Gauges
« on: July 15, 2012, 11:23:15 PM »
Hey Stu,

Since 1.1 requires a relatively new mac and hence requires at least OSX 10.6, I was wondering if you could tweak the live gauges window to use OpenCL, main reason for this, is the CPU shoots up whenever I have the window open, so if I want to keep the performance up I end up closing the window.
Id like to have it open at all times if possible.
Also with the looping of WeatherCat Images, could that be HW accelerated too?

Thanks Stu

Tim
