[openglean-devel]Empty window query

[Matt J. <mat...@fa...>]

Hi, I hope this is a good place to ask.
A very minor comment that I didn't feel I could submit as a bug or a
feature request.

When using the old GLUT library in my project, I created a window,
reserved lots of memory and then went into the glutmainloop.  Now in
between the time the window was created and the mainloop entered
(initialisation finished) the window was just filled with black - which
I guess was not updated, just initialised on creation to be black.

However, with the openGLEAN library the difference is this window,
although it has the frame and bar at the top, the contents is empty -
that is, the contents of the window are the same as the background so in
effect it looks completely transparent until the mainloop is reached,
where the background is finally filled in.

I'm not entirely sure this is a bug or a feature, but I would much
prefer the black initialisation because there is a long pause while
reserving memory in my prog and it looks very ugly during this time.  As
you can tell, it's not the most important query of all time..... just
aesthetics.

I am using openGLEAN 0.5.0 for windows, XP.  Development environment is
visual .net 2003.

By the way, thanks a lot for developing openGLEAN, it has been great to
use so far, and I'm looking forward to using the new fonts!

Best regards,

Matt
