There is a new version now (5.243):
- Copy&Paste is working
- Drag&Drop into the RC filebrowser is working
- Correctly re-initializes the tile layers when you switch to/from fullscreen
- external GuiTextListCtrl refreshes on sort() (player list)
- fixed head icon on mini-maps
- shows version number when right-clicking->Properties on the exe

Stefan, because all windows are now ingame windows is it possible at all to remove the 20 fps cap in favor of something reasonable like atleast 60?

I'll make a quick video of the "tearing" problem I had before, maybe it will explain it better than words.

It'd be nice for at least GUI's to run at 60fps. It would improve them so much.

What??? I would think 30fps or maybe 40fps would be "something more reasonable"?

How is capping the FPS at 60 not reasonable? Anything above that won't be noticeable and anything below it will be less "smooth". If changing the FPS around isn't possible then atleast keep the option to use the external playerlist window we've got now on v5 and re-add the external PM windows from v2/v4 on the Windows client. :|

I don't think 60, the average physical threshold, is the necessary limit for better performance. Perhaps 30fps? I'd rather see a 10fps increase if it will effect performance of Graal in any way, in comparison to increasing the frame rate 3 fold...

I don't think anyone cares about the actual game running at 60fps(though it would make SOME things smoother, in the end though I don't see it really necessary), but the GUI's trying to emulate OS counterparts at 20fps is horrible and just makes them seem clumsy and inaccurate.

Wondering if it's planned to make the playerlist dock so I can start complaining now if not.

Ah, I understand now. I was worried they wanted the FPS in-game increased to 60 for some reason beyond necessity.

The problem Stefan often does not understand is that new "features" like docking are great, so long as people (with good sense) have the choice to disable/enable it.

Experimenting with External Windows, noticed that you can't really adjust or access the x, y via script, as well as plenty other things that don't exactly work. I.e: canresize, canmove.

Is this intentional or will support for that be added later.

Related maybe?

Polygon fonts are not working right now on Windows, there was some crash bug, but it will be enabled later again.

This one still isn't fixed.
When I drag the playerlist over my window this happens:


and could you add a "warpto" button on the playerlist? (The ones we have on the old playerlist)
I'd really appreciate that because I always use that function.
