Every single thing I say, you're going to want to turn it into an argument. [...] you're just wanting to argue for the sake or arguing. Every single thing you say that's wrong, yeah, I'm going to correct you. Especially if your statement is simply a baseless claim that my correction is wrong. Which...

it's not "programmer art" but placeholder colors. Again, placeholder graphics are the exact definition of programmer art. 'Programmer art' is the industry term for placeholder graphics. They are synonymous. we're not coworkers. Oh but we are. As independent developers, this community is c...

That's why contrast is the concern - information is defined as the perceptible difference between signal and noise....

The problem is that the graphics pipeline takes too many frames to draw the software cursor, not that the mouse position doesn't propagate fast enough - it does. ...

The contrast is terrible. Everything is hard to see and washed out. Dark greenish text on dark blueish background?

That does indeed seem sickeningly laggy. There should not be that much delay getting from mouse to Lua.
