is it inside or outside the render thread?

    window.Load += () =>
    {
        context = window.GLContext;
+       context.Clear();
        new Thread(RenderLoop).Start();
    }

    window.Load += () =>
    {
        context = window.GLContext;
+       context.Clear();
        new Thread(RenderLoop).Start();
    }

Why do you guys make the context current automatically? Was there a specific reason?

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:54 PM

like a lot of things in windowing it is designed for ease of use and to prevent confusion

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:54 PM

imagine how a beginner would react if they couldn't issue any GL commands on their fresh window

Redhacker2•10/24/22, 1:54 PM

fair enough...

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 1:55 PM

It no longer crashes, but it doesn't do anything now

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 1:56 PM

Here's my window options

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:56 PM

you probably want to move SwapBuffers into your Render callback

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 1:56 PM

this is what i had

Perksey•10/24/22, 1:57 PM

you're probably double swapping somewhere

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 1:59 PM

i dont think so?

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 2:00 PM

hmmmm

Perksey•10/24/22, 2:01 PM

heh

Perksey•10/24/22, 2:02 PM

i have a feeling your render callback could be called on both threads

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 2:02 PM

oh yea let me check

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 2:05 PM

ok yeah it's my code

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 2:07 PM

It worked!

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 2:07 PM

Thanks @Perksey

Redhacker2•10/24/22, 2:09 PM

@Perksey I think the input package for 2.16.0 is broken, I just updated to it and the window does not show up, but my application just sits there

Perksey•10/24/22, 2:33 PM

Make sure all of the package versions match, and if it’s still the same then I have no idea what’s changed

Perksey•10/24/22, 2:35 PM

there’s been some loader changes and some bindings regeneration but other than that nothings touched input between 2.15 and 2.16

Perksey•10/24/22, 2:35 PM

but also I’m not the person to ping anymore

Redhacker2•10/24/22, 3:08 PM

sorry lol

HHanprogramer unfortunately Beyley's program also broken on my device

Lyris the Kitori•10/24/22, 5:51 PM

oh i never tested on windows lol

Lyris the Kitori•10/24/22, 5:51 PM

ig i forgot to clear the context

Lyris the Kitori•10/24/22, 5:52 PM

yup

Lyris the Kitori•10/24/22, 5:52 PM

linux seems to be immune

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 11:38 PM

dayum linux seems to have better windowing system

HanprogramerOP•10/24/22, 11:38 PM

doesnt freeze when resize and doesnt need to clear context

Lyris the Kitori•10/24/22, 11:50 PM

windowing on linux is pain

vdvman1•10/25/22, 1:07 AM

The fact that there isn't really a single standard, and that one of them doesn't even support absolute positioning of windows or global shortcuts, definitely seems like a pain

Redhacker2•10/25/22, 1:21 AM

Yes

Vvdvman1 The fact that there isn't really a single standard, and that one of them doesn't...

Redhacker2•10/25/22, 1:21 AM

Does Wayland really not support absolute positioning of windows

Redhacker2•10/25/22, 1:22 AM

I've heard Wayland is painful, but is it really that painful?

vdvman1•10/25/22, 1:29 AM

Yup

It doesn't even have a concept of absolute positioning, the only way to move a window is to specify a relative offset, and all coordinates are relative to the window.

vdvman1•10/25/22, 1:32 AM

I know about this because it gets mentioned many times in the Tauri repositories and discord server

Vvdvman1 The fact that there isn't really a single standard, and that one of them doesn't...

HanprogramerOP•10/25/22, 1:33 AM

i didnt know it was that bad :v

vdvman1•10/25/22, 1:37 AM

Yeah, pretty painful

vdvman1•10/25/22, 1:41 AM

And from what I'm seeing online, the developers of wayland don't want to have absolute positioning, instead they want to have higher level abstractions so the compositor can be more intelligent

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:42 AM

i mean a majority of apps don't need to position themselves like that so it's excusable

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:43 AM

i think a less excusable thing is there's no API to bring an app to focus from the background

vdvman1•10/25/22, 2:47 AM

Yikes, yeah that's even worse

Vvdvman1 The fact that there isn't really a single standard, and that one of them doesn't...

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:49 AM

also global shortcuts are a WIP and are coming soon

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:50 AM

but hey, it's not all bad

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:50 AM

0 input latency vsync

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:51 AM

HDR is actually happening

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:51 AM

better security

vdvman1•10/25/22, 2:51 AM

That's good to hear

Lyris the Kitori•10/25/22, 2:52 AM

and extensions have been adding back all the missing features, one step at a time

is it inside or outside the render thread?
