Speed up Modern skins (I missed this one!)

djpete1959 · 6th November 2008, 02:23

I don't know how long this has been unchecked on my version of Winamp but when the "Allow use of bitmap fonts that have not been mapped"
is checked in the preferences/modern skins/font rendering section I can't believe how much quicker my modern skins are working now.

Try it.
Check it if unchecked.

Can someone please explain exactly what is happening here with this little button? What does it do etc...much appreciated.

Cool speed improvement, thanks for the hint.

I noticed a huge load-time delay in 5.54x as compared to 5.53. May be its attributed to this.

Theuniquetiger,
Well I tell you.
The difference is VERY noticeable so much so that I am now using a modern skin (Relax ClassicPro) full time for the first time...

Hope it helps Zackbuffo

Ich suche jemand in Deutschland, der seinen TAMA Starclassic Maple Kesselsatz tauschen möchte BD:22, TT:14, 12, 10. Ich bin mit dem Set sehr zufrieden, habe mich aber an meiner Lackierung "Tequila Sunrise" sattgesehen. Das Set ist von 2002, gepflegt und wurde ausschließlich in Cases transportiert. Bei Interesse bitte PM an mich.
