Re: [MiNT] Re[3]: usage of wind_calc()

Hi,

Well, many told Ozk that they felt dynamical switching of themes was not important...

The WCOWORK mode allows apps to decide if they should be 100% compatible
with the old AES's, or take advantage of the new functionality. I imagine that apps
that use "compatibility mode" instead of taking advantage of WCOWORK would be
just fine, although you would have to terminate/restart them when switching themes.
(Comments on that Odd?)

Again, (if I get this right) using wind_calc as before will work as before, as long
as the new WCOWORK mode is *not* enabled. The theme switch would just require
that any running app that does not support WCOWORK needs a restart.

See my comment above. The only limitation would be that the app would have to be
restarted when switching themes if I understand this correctly.

I don't see a problem here. If one wishes to support WCOWORK, then that will be fine.
If some programmers do not, there are no *new* limitations introduced!

Finally, please correct any faulty information that I may have!
