Of course! everyone wants 2.10 ready! no rush. Thanks...

Is the 'compact interface' option working? I activate it but it goes back to deactivated when I open Options again, and there is no change on the interface.

Added an image. Sorry for the crude mocap.

I have a suggestion to help organize how pressure affects brush. Currently we have this Reaction on Pen Pressure tool. Inside we have the options : -Alter radius and depth depending on pressure -Alter only depth -Alter pen radius, depth and opacity -Paint with constant depth and radius regardless of pressure And still there's no Alter only Opacity depending on pressure, or only Opacity and Depth, or Opacity and Radius only. There would be just too many combinations, if you put them all it would be cluttered. It would be more organized if instead of these different 'reaction combinations', there was just a small icon beside each feature (depth, radius, transparency) which indicates if that feature is affected by pen pressure or not. For example, a small icon of a pen. There are already a chain lock or other icons on the top bar, it's just adding one more. This would not only get things organized, but also the pen pressure could be extended to affect smooth amount, specular and other features. Emilio

Yes, no more lag!everything works smoothly now, even the Low Shaders mode, and also the Show Low Poly Model. Thank you so much for fixing this, and so fast! Now beta5G seems to run even faster than beta4 did, with or without the low shaders mode. Thanks for the awesome dedication. Are you sure you are getting enough sleep?

Is it the 'slightly lower shader (faster render) option into the Options screen, right? It crashes both beta 4 and 5 on next startup. I had to reinstall - but now I found out that I can edit or delete the options.xml file so it starts up again. I installed beta4 and beta5 side to side in different folders, for test purposes. But beta4 is still super-fast if compared to beta5. I sent the crash report and the log.txt file to you.

Hi Andrew and thanks for the good work. I was all excited about 2.10 because beta4 worked so smoothly on my old tablet pc TC4200. It has an old pentium M and a 915 intel graphics chipset. Unfortunately, beta5 is just too sluggish on it, it's not usable. Of course I don't pretend you spend your time making 3dcoat to run in this oldie. - 3dcoat wasnt supposed to even run on this notebook. But drawing directly on the screen is an awesome experience. Maybe there are some settings I could turn off so I get some performance gain? In the worst case I'll just keep beta4 until i get a new tabletpc, sometime next year. Emilio
