Aaha, perfect
you can set it with ,
now it's just about getting the glfw handle itself from the window, which I have a suspicion is something you can actually do without resorting to reflection - but I'd have to check

glfwSetWindowAttrib during runtime, so that's one problem solved.now it's just about getting the glfw handle itself from the window, which I have a suspicion is something you can actually do without resorting to reflection - but I'd have to check
Ahmm, seemingly not but I'm not at a machine to test it out at the moment - however you can use reflection to get the internal
and if you can get that working then I wish you the best of luck because there's no guarantees that it will be happy with the fact that you've swapped 3.3 dlls with 3.4 (for example function signature changes could cause a lot of problems)

DThe demo code below will allow me to setup the window borderless and transparent etc. And I'd be able to add the clickthrough if using 3.4 and setting that window hint, so that would all work. Now I'm wondering, how could I use that created window and somehow get all the goodness from Silk.NET like event handlers etc

How to draw in OpenGL over a transparent window? Here your answer
DI'm happy to give it a try, fail fast using the 3.4 DLLs
DFYI - 3.3.8 seems to contain the mouse passthrough: https://github.com/glfw/glfw
does that mean I still need the 3.4 DLLs ?

DSo I guess the least question I have is:
How do I create an IWindow object, or 'reflect' it, from a GLFW constructed window?

H_window.Native would give you the GLFW windowHwait GL_QUADS are deprecated?
VYeah, everything that isn't made of triangles is deprecated
TLines and points say hi
Ldont use lines or points
Lthey are misleading at best
VHeh, I clearly remembered wrong then 
Forgot about lines and points
Forgot about lines and points
Lthey always got tesselated into triangles internally anyway
Lwhat was the point of quads
FIf is funny, because all modern 3d characters a made from quads, if use triangles we get artifacts on deformed skin, triangulated surface cant bend smoothly.
But anyway gpu converts those quads into triangles
But anyway gpu converts those quads into triangles
VQuads can't bend smoothly either, you're probably thinking of various curved surfaces which can be defined by a quad and the normal and/or tangent at various points, akin to splines
Ultimately the surface has to be triangulated, or the rendering engine needs to support those curved surfaces more directly
Modern GPUs only have rasterization hardware for triangles

FI mean - when we model face in Blender or Maya, we never use triangles, beacase when face animated there will be visible “issues”. In old games with low poly character triangles were often used to reduce poligon count.
Dont know how it works on low level, maybe related to vertex transform calculations when game engine plays animations.

Hohhh i see
RThose are about as close as you can get to depreciation
RThat doesn't mean they don't get tessellated and smooth shading
RAny quad primitives you can make can be evaluated to two tris
MHello, I am working on a research project which is based on C#. We have to make some calculations with the use of Vulkan or OpenGL on compute shaders and we have nothing to render.
Before digging into the source code of Silk I'd like to know the following things...
a. is it possible to be integrated only for the use of compute shaders?
b. is it possible to load shaders that have already been compiled by the Vulkan CLI compiler?
Thank you for bringing such a cool lib to the opensource world.

RYes yes
RBoth yes
RI think Vulkan is going to be your only option assuming you don't want a window. If you are fine with a window then they both work
Mno window at all
Mis there any api generated for such a task? or a repo with examples?
MThank you for your answers... BTW
Rno specific API
Rnor an example project
Rthat is endorsed by silk.net
Lany normal vulkan or OpenGL tutorial does the job
Rbut yeah, once you get the init code down you should be done
Rwell you should be able to run the compute shader
MOh, I put it totally wrong. All I meant is, if there is any Documentation generated by the source code of Silk.net in order to have a look at it.
MBut I got the picture, thanks for the answers both of you.
K@.maslas feel free to ask anything here, I've done plenty of vulkan compute. The vulkan server is of course also very helpful discord.gg/vulkan
HSilk doesn't have these things. I know, i was also looking for it. But basically you can just use any vulkan methods from C#, the only thing you'll need is for windowing and stuffs. Yesterday i made a tutorial on YT but it's for windowing and input. probably not what you need
FExperienced people use Vulkan. Do I get any profit from learning Open GL? I started because GL looks simpler.
AI do have a port of
Personally, if you just need to draw some stuff without a window, just use a hidden window with opengl.

PVulkan is designed for AAA developers who have endless time & bottomless budgets to optimise the living hell out of their game engines
POpenGL is a lot better to use for a hobby project, but it's also slowly withering away and there is no FOSS standard to replace it with equivalent ease-of-use yet
FSo if I want to make small home projects with 3d or 2d, GL is sufficient? No need to worry about Vulkan?
Pyep! GL will be around for a long time, and makes your life easier.
FDo we have window event “OnResize”? To recalculate UI positions on screen.
Pyes there's a Resize and FramebufferResize event
Pthey are used in the examples
Pyou should pretty much always prefer the latter, as that refers to the scaled size
Pe.g. you could have a 500x500 window size, but its actual render resolution could be 1000x1000 (you see this most frequently on retina displays)
