1. does anyone know what this thing near the hq is? (frontend2.png, no bases, bases, advanced bases)
maybe these are factories with smoking chimneys?

i would simply prefer only a hq there, (like advanced bases - without walls^^)

2. is the OK icon still used?

Looks cool!

Did someone already try to render this in a higher resolution to replace the current texpage?

Yes, I rendered it as 2048x2048 and used it ingame (you can just overwrite the current frontend2.png and it'll just work). It looks very good, except that it seems to attempt to combine it with images from the other frontend*.png files.

2kx2k is maybe a bit huge... But perhaps we can use a 1kx1k version ingame as soon as it is finished. :)

Wouldn't it make sense, to generate/render the texpage on the client site, resolution dependent?
Using Cairo for example.

And that's *exactly* what we (or more precisely EvilGuru) are working on!

No, that is not what we are doing :)

Kamaze means using Cairo to render a texpage once per-resolution and then do what we do now. Therefore caching it.

Most likely we will render it from-source every time. This is the way that GTK/Qt render their widgets.

I wonder whether it makes a difference performance-wise. Render-to-texture, or render-on-the-fly.

Texture will be faster.

My point was: How much? And would there be so much difference that static widgets should be rendered into a texture. (Or would the amount of time spent in widget code be small enough that we dont need to bother.)
