I don't understand this point -- do you just mean the predefined filter for a language?

If you mean the background -- this is a feature (which may be disabled using the right mouse button in the visualization window).

If you recognize vertical blank lines, the visualization seems to be out of sync -- currently I do not use double buffering but just waiting for the vertical blank before drawing the next frame with the standard windows GDI.

However, the oscilloscope visualization should not be much more than a joke at the moment. There are other visualizations out there that may be used together with Silverjuke.

Okay -- one time, there aleady were tooltips, but I had a lot of trouble with them, however, it should not be a real problem to implement them again.

Thanks.

Yep. But on second thought, at least for you and me, this preset will be just fine

I've corrected many strings in V0.23...

Is it still flickering with "Flash background" disabled?

However, I can reproduce some unwanted flickering on my machine, too. This happens if one frame cannot be drawn between two vertical blanks - which is not unusual eg. with font anti-aliasing enabled. Okay, I will use DirectX or sth. like that later.

Tooltips are added in V0.23

Okay, I'm drawing the visualization offscreen now and copy it to the screen during the vertical blank. For this purpose, the computer and the operating system (here: Window's GDI) must be fast enough to bitblt the data in this little time window - otherwise the visualization will become flickering again.

However, this should work on most machines.
