Not sure if this question ever got answered.
So, the default skin redraws the whole skin x amount of times a second.
Do any of the new skins just redraw the bits that need to be redrawn, or do they have to redraw the whole skin.

I remembered there was talk that the CPU or GPU was being used up by redrawing the whole skin.
And I was wondering if it was possible to design a skin that only redraws the bits it needs too.

Redrawing is controlled by the skin engine, not the skins themselves.

here is the original talk about this: http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/189832/VirtualDJ_8_bug-report_Forum/Constant_Skin_redrawing_eating_the_CPU.html
is a high priority issue, but still not fixed, no idea why.

Hi guys, thanks for the replies.
At the moment I'm not having any issues. I am running vdj8 on win7 and win xp.
I was just wondering if anything had changed with the skin redrawing. I remember a lot of talk about it using a lot of cpu or gpu. And this causing issues.
@SBDJ, thanks for clearing that up. So if I understand correctly, all the skins will redraw 100% of the skin? Is this something that may be changed in the future, or is there a benefit from a 100% redrawn.
I am not criticizing, I am just curious.
Thanks.
