Description Luis Oliveira 2003-03-05 21:13:06 UTC 
The discussion started here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2003-March/msg00011.html

The idea is to add a new property to GtkPaned, the ability to make the
resizing non-opaque.

The reason is that opaque resizing is not a good idea for example in:
  - slow computers
  - slow displays (eg: an handheld's framebuffer)
  - low power devices (this opaque resizing is quite cpu intensive, not
    good for handhelds)
  - etc..

An initial patch is available, but a few things are missing:
  - an XOR'ed line like GtkPaned's used to have in gtk+-1.2
  - change to the gtktest program to show this property
  - a GtkSettings something like Owen suggested, I have to investigate this

I'm going to WONTFIX here; if you really feal strongly, 
reopen and I'll move to the future milestone.

The patch would have to be redone to:

 A) Add a single GtkSetting, something like gtk-disable-animations
 B) Restore the XOR line from older versions of GTK+
