Swarm - New GUI for Hive2 [OUT NOW]

[Ploki]

Does this skin run make the gui open slower? I paid for the skin and really like it and it’s not a deal breaker but it would be nice if it were similar in speed to the default skin. I kept it lean in the skins folder as suggested, just leaving the blue swarm skin in there and nothing else.

I think it does a bit yeah. It's heavy on resources unfortunately. Been looking into ways on slimming it down a bit, by folding some animations into one (a lot of knobs use two layers for animation) or using a tad more agressive png compression.
If you don't use Izmo, removing that from the theme folder might speed up loading a bit.

Would it be faster if it were only the default dark skin?

Thanks for the quick reply Ploki, I'll try deleting the Izmo skin and look forward to any updates. Love the skin

I've tried setting it as the default skin but it makes no difference. Its not only upon first load but anytime you open the GUI. And its not even THAT slow. Its a few seconds but I just got used to the default skin opening pretty much instantly.

I meant that the Swarm skin has a bunch of color options. I wondered if that slows it down.

Oh right. No it makes no difference.

yep. you could delete resources (backgrounds) of every theme you don't use and it would likely load faster. They're under panes, "sw_MAINBKG_color_##.png"
1, 4, 5 and 11 are about 2mb, other are smaller

@Ploki:
I missed the BF deal you offer on your site, at least the code doesn´t work anymore.
Do you plan another sale until the end of the year?
