I have a problem with performance using your skins:

-It uses +10mb virtual memory.OK That's affordable,it does look cool.
-CPU usage of demo/or application with your skins/ jumps from 0% to 35% in a loop every 3 seconds.

I don't cry about memory,but cpu usage.Is it possible to improve performance so that it doesn't use 20-30% cpu usage every 3 seconds in the next major version of Alpha Skins?

Thanks.

Hi, I noticed similar cpu peak usage when animations are enabled. Try to disable them, e.g. on TsGauges.

I much prefer Serge to improve it.

I'll try to optimize this animation soon. Which skin have slow animation?

WMP 2008.I don't know if its animation.Open demo and watch cpu usage.

It's havier here,because I used the progressbar from Vista,but I like the glow/animation.Please optimize it,Serge!

Try the attached skin please, CPU usage was changed?
Please compare with WMP 2008

[JohnBank]

No changes.It goes from 0 to ~30% every 3 seconds.

I think the problem is not in the skin.

We must be sure that problem is in gauge animation.
Could you disable this animation and check a CPU usage?

Yes,I removed the sGauge from your demo's mainUnit and cpu is 0%,but if i go to 'Scroll and progress',I see 3 progressbars/sGauges there and cpu starts jumping from 0 to 35 again.

The problem still exists in the demo of AlphaSkins 6.44. Go to the progressbar frame and check your cpu.

Yes, sGauge haven't changes in this version still.
I'll try to optimize it soon.

Please check the link below.It's a guide how to create a vista-like progressbar in C#.I tried it in C# and it doesn't use cpu at all.Maybe you can rip the animation part from there.

Thanks again for support,hope it will be fixed soon! <img src="style_emoticons//wub.gif” style=”vertical-align:middle” emoid=”:wub:” border=”0″ alt=”wub.gif” />
